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

All students can learn to be authors. The more they write, the more skilled they become. My students enjoy writing. However, with limited supplies, they don't get the opportunity to write as much as they desire.

Through this project, my students will be given unlimited supplies to promote creativity, communication, critical thinking, and collaboration through writing.

If a child in my class wants to write, I want to be able to say yes! Help me foster their love for storytelling by giving them the supplies they need to promote daily writing in the classroom.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
