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

Help me help my students become the writers I know they can be. With composition books, markers, scissors, and glue my students will be able to create exciting and memorable pieces of work that they can keep forever. Giving my students the tools they need will give them the advantage to be imaginative and the ability to create work they can be proud of. The only thing holding these kids back is the lack of supplies, not the lack of desire, want or excitement to make amazing works of literature. These students love to be creative and to think outside the box, I know they can create fun and engaging works if they are able to get excited about using new supplies that were given to them!
