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

I work with new arrival students from all over the world. While some students just need language acquisition, others have had gaps in their education and require additional support in all content areas; my class helps fill in some of those literacy holes. This year my work will primarily focus on academic writing.

This year students will maintain a portfolio of their written work that serves as both a representation of what they learned during the year, as well as act as a memory book.

I am requesting items to help students organize that portfolio and help them create a quality product that they can be proud of. All of their work will be collected and organized during the school year and will culminate in a presentation at the end. These binders, colored pencils and stickers will help them add fine details and add a decorative flair to their work. My goal is for them to leave with a tangible portfolio that showcases their skills and efforts.

Thank you in advance for helping my students!
