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

Many of my students are in the emergent stage of writing; however they struggle with independently coming up with writing topics during their writing lessons.

The ready to write writing prompt box is a great way to strengthen my students skills…with focused practice in 3 different writing styles!

The set includes 100 prompt cards that cover narrative, informative/explanatory and opinion/argument writing. The students are required by state TEKS to write all types of writing. This kit has all the required types of writing prompts. The students will use this writing kit during independent use, small groups and writing centers! The cards feature step-by-step instructions and easy-to-follow writing prompts.

The writing prompt journals will be an addition writing support when working at their writing center. The sequence cards that I also requested will help my younger students who are not not yet ready to write can be exposed to retell sequencing cards.
