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 love my students' curiosity, determination, and willingness to grow as readers and writers. They actively engage in discussions, analyze texts, and refine their writing skills, always striving to improve. With red pens, they will be able to edit and revise their work with confidence while highlighters will help them identify key ideas, supporting details, and literary elements in their readings. These simple yet essential tools will empower my students to take ownership of their learning, making their reading and writing more purposeful and effective. By having access to these resources, students will develop stronger critical thinking skills and become more independent in their learning process. Your support will help create a classroom environment where every student feels equipped to succeed.
