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

I teach at a Title I school, which means many of my students are at or below the poverty level. But make no mistake - these students are amazing: kind, hard working, generous - they just need a little bit of help!

Keeping important resources on colored paper is a great way to ensure students stay organized and keep what's most important.

Whether it's a handout on Notice & Note strategies, Freytag's Pyramid, Figurative Language, or Independent Reading, students can quickly and easily find (and not get rid of!) these materials when a colored paper organizational system is put into place. This would help them tremendously.
