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 students love hands-on activities. They are very creative. Students love using their creativity to develop their writing skills.

Our next writing unit will be realistic fiction.

Bringing stories to life will help my students use clay to create their characters. They will get their hands dirty by molding and painting clay to create character traits.

They also create their setting using a box, paint, and paintbrushes. They will get printed pictures to add to their diagrams. Lastly, we will have a museum, and they will present their stories to their parents and peers. Your donations will help me create long-lasting memories.
