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

These are our littlest writers just starting out with limited experience using letters and words. I am looking to create a visually rich classroom space with just the right tools to develop independent writers.

My little learners will benefit from a rich, print-focused classroom with new bulletin boards.

They will also be able to start out with developmentally appropriate pencils to build their fine motor skills. These resources will help me teach my students how to write neatly and care about their work. The black paper will allow our anchor charts and their work to pop across the room.
