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

Many students hate the idea of writing. They sit thinking about what to write and will comment "I don't know what to write about." My goal for this project is to increase student excitement to write and use their creativity to express their ideas.

I hope that by having a variety of writing tools, notebooks, and paper it will increase their enjoyment for writing.

I want to provide my students with a writing center where they can have a variety of materials. With this I hope they will be motivated to write more and have different ideas on what to write.
