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 Students

Take a moment to think about your kindergarten experience. Did you just get a feeling of nostalgia, too? Kindergarten was an amazing time that taught you the fundamentals of reading and writing. My students are getting that same experience, but are in dire need of writing resources and supplies.

The children I teach are energetic, wonderful, hardworking students.

They impress me everyday with their awesome attitudes because many of them face challenges in their lives that many of us have not experienced. We are a full day kindergarten class at a Title 1 school. Our school is located in a high poverty urban area. All of our students are entitled to a free/reduced price lunch. The student population is 85% Hispanic, 7% African American, 3% Caucasian, and 2% Asian.

My Project

My students have worked so hard over the year becoming strong readers and writers and they are ready to keep the passion going. Our class will use the writing teaching center to expand our writing abilities and techniques. The teaching center focuses on narrative, informative, opinion, and research writing. The early writing process student folders are a great way for my students to keep track of where they are in the writing process. Plus, when they get stuck, they just flip the folder over and find helpful resources like the alphabet, the first 50 sight-words, a list of adjectives & more. My students know that being an author is a great achievement. If our class receives this generous donation, we will use the write-a-story blank books to publish our very own creative story. We will have a publishing party, and invite our parents to come and listen to our works of art.

Writing is an important necessity we use every day!

My goal is for my students to instill strong writing habits each day by practicing the stages of the writing process all the way from brainstorming to publishing. Please help make this dream a reality. Please consider donating to our kindergarten class! Thank you.
