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

I love that my students are hands-on. They are much better when they can engage physically with their learning instead of just sitting and listening to me jabber on. I know that with the right tools, they will continue to improve.

My students need more practice reading and writing.

It is clear from their essays and their reading habits that they need repetition as well as feedback. In order to get these things, they need access to pencils and I need additional grading pens that are not that evil red color.

With your help, we can help improve my student's ELA abilities, one writing assignment at a time. Thanks in advance for your support!
