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

Getting organized as a student or as an adult is challenging! I'm hoping that by having the necessary resources available for each student, they will become more organized with their writing.

You cannot be organized without having the proper materials and also someone to teach you how to use the materials appropriately to ensure success!

Teaching & learning the writing process is super challenging. I will help my students become more successful by being a role model for them in all steps of the writing process and by using the appropriate materials.
