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 classroom is full of students who love being in our class, love being around each other, and love learning. However, sometimes getting the motivation to write stories, to write informative pieces, to write opinion pieces can be tough to find. This is where this project comes into play!

These notebooks and fun writing supplies will help motivate my students to want to write, which will build their writing stamina!

My goal is to have my students have a set time on Fridays to just WRITE! This will help them explore their imagination, improve on their planning skills, and grow a love of writing.
