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 teach 24 Kindergarten students who are eager to learn and grow. They come to school daily are ready to participate in all activities that we do inside and outside of the classroom.

Please help me instill the excitement around writing with new pens, paper and a place for their writing to go.

It is so important that my students have the opportunity to explore writing daily and with engaging materials it makes it even more exciting. The more engagement that students have will increase their participation and interactions in the lessons.
