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 are eager to learn and be engaged in learning activities. 3rd graders are moving into writing longer stories, essays and articles. It is exciting for students to have various materials to create their final writing drafts for others to read.

The writing materials will help students produce final writing products that can be shared with our school community and their families in various ways.

Students are more engaged in writing activities if they have choice in writing utensils and paper. The writing supplies will create excitement about publishing final drafts in our classroom.
