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

My first grade students are inquisitive, highly motivated, and extremely creative. They are hard workers who enjoy engaging activities that make learning fun! We are a Title I school in a low-income community and almost all of our students qualify for free lunch and breakfast.

My first graders are eager to learn and they love to be creative.

My Project

Writing is an essential component in becoming a fluent reader and goes hand-in-hand with reading instruction. This project will help inspire and foster a joy of writing in my first grade students. The jumbo picture newsprint paper will be a great teaching tool and a great way for students to express themselves creatively. The baseline newsprint paper will help students with their penmanship skills and sentence writing. The blank books will be used to help students use their imagination to create and illustrate their own stories.

The journals will allow students to express thoughts, feelings, experiences and new ideas while building confidence and writing endurance.
