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 Students

Our fine arts magnet school is located in a vibrant and diverse community. Although we are in a high poverty district, our school has been able to retain our fine arts magnet status. However, it has been a challenge to find the funding for exciting relative writing materials.

The students who attend our school are on 100% free and reduced lunch.

We have a highly diverse immigrant population. As a choice school, students from many different backgrounds and countries attend our school. Beyond their basic education, it is also a wonderful challenge to lead them to think about their future.

My Project

This project will provide advanced writing folders for the students to greatly enhance their communication skills. This handy folder guides students step-by-step through the writing process with fold-out pockets that store everything from the initial story map to the final draft! Plus, each side of the folder is jam-packed with information to help students along the way, including topic ideas, an editing checklist and more. They will create a polished piece of writing in no time!

Our grade level truly wants to give to our students the confidence and skills to create a mature piece of writing.

This is a most necessary skill for later life. These 4 pocket folders contain the steps to writing and are full of helpful information.
