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 third-grade class this year is the students that were directly impacted by covid. They have lost two years of instruction. This year these resources will help them become more efficient writers in order to pass their state tests. The stacking stools will help them be able to move around the classroom. In my writing workshop, they are allowed to move to where they are most comfortable during their independent writing time. Being organized in third grade is a non-negotiable, my students rotate to three different classrooms, and the notebooks, easel pad and binder dividers will assist them in becoming organized and independent.
