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

2nd grade students are working on becoming better authors! These tools will help them be creative, authentically show who they are, and learn in a style that works best for them with new flexible seating options. Writing with pens helps students understand it's okay to make mistakes! The power of writer's workshop helps students hone in on their creativity and become authors we know they can be!

With these materials students will be able to keep their papers safe, learn how to be editors, and find seating that allows their creativity to flow!
