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

This project is being created to first help my students learn writing and reading skills. The Velcro is specifically for folders that I will create for them that will help them to pre-plan their writing before they put it on the paper. It will help them see the sentence and make edits before it goes on their paper. It will help them to become stronger readers and writers overtime. The second part of the project is a color printer, which is very useful and helpful for a first grade classroom to create colorful labels for the children to easily read and get the materials that they need this printer will be utilized weekly as I make new anchor charts and handouts for the children to help aid them in their learning processes, and as I create labels for all of the things that we have around our classroom. Finally, I have included eliminator just to make sure that all of the materials that I am printing out will last for longer periods of time with the durable laminating sheet on top of it. This will allow me to keep the materials that I make for future students that I will teach it will be the gift that keeps on giving!
