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 creative, curious, and resilient learners who come to school eager to grow, even when facing challenges outside the classroom. This project will provide writing folders, anchor charts, editing tools, and graphic organizers to help them stay organized and build confidence throughout the writing process. These materials will support all stages of writing—from brainstorming to publishing. My goal is to create a supportive, structured environment where students feel proud of their work and see themselves as real writers. With your help, we can start the year strong and inspired!
