We Have a Lot to Write About!

Help me give my students the writing tools they need to be successful writers.

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

The products I have selected will be used to help students learn writing skills and techniques.

The anchor charts will keep learning accessible to students.

My students will be able to refer to them and use them. The use of anchor charts and write boards in a classroom setting provide students with a source to reference when working on their own. Having those in the classroom as a tool will guide students to think or to question and contribute to discussions.

The horizontal pocket charts will be used to display the students writing.

All these supplies will be used during whole group, small group and independent work.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
