Warm Fuzzies and Writing

Help me give my students an amazing environment to read and write in our classroom. We are using what we have learned from fiction books to create our own fantasy stories which we will turn into graphic novels.

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

My students were greatly effected with lost learning during the 7 months our schools were shut down.

The students I teach are amazing humans that just need a little extra love to get started.

The cool pens, notebooks and fiction books will be a neat way for my students to become the authors I know they can be.

What my students lack in ability they more than make up in heart. I have some of the hardest working students in the entire state of Arizona. These tools will help them begin to finally believe they are the amazing writers I already believe they are.
