Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Hello! We appreciate your interest in our classroom. These supplies will be used to help students who are English Language Learners and need additional resources to further develop their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills.

The students will use the new classroom iPad to research writing topics and access online dictionary resources.

The students are learning how to make an outline, write a rough draft and edit the rough draft to make it clear and concise.

In addition, the Lego sets will be used for rainy day instruction, when we are unable to go outside for an afternoon "brain break."

We greatly appreciate your support of our classroom!

Thank you.

Ms. Kara Smith Cali Calmecac Language Academy Grades 6-8
