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 have a great group of students who are excited and eager to learn. They love sharing about themselves and I would like to be able to include their self-expression into our writing curriculum.

The cameras will allow the students to take pictures of things around school that are important to them which will give them a sense of ownership and autonomy of their learning.

They will use the pictures to jump start their writing which will allow for creative expression. They pictures and stories they write will be used to create bulletin boards which will help build our learning community and help build self-esteem as each student will see themselves reflected in the shared work.
