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

Having a good base to start off with helps take away the challenges that come with a new year.

My creative writing students will use their notebooks to journal, draft, and critique.

The highlighters help separate parts of their writing by color, and the plethora of writing utensils will be used daily. My students and I create anchor charts and work in groups to make beautiful posters with our chart paper markers and regular markers. The binders will be how each grade level's hard copies are separated for review.

All will be appreciated and used.

Ms. Nash Meyerland Perf - Visual Arts Middle School Grades 6-8
