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

These tools will allow my students to dive deep into the writing process to be the best writers in the 6th grade! These supplies will help us grow into scholars ready for 8th grade, high school, college, and careers!

The journals will be used to capture the students' writing progress throughout the year, and they will show them just how far they have come.

Pencils and erasers are the basic writing tools needed to inspire our young scholars. They will be used by students as they work on writing, editing, and working towards publishing stories. The pencil sharpener will ensure my students have the pencils needed to practice their writing skills as we move through the writing process.
