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

Teachers need to take some time to focus writing activities on building basic skills, such as handwriting, spelling, and sentence construction. Spelling mistakes and poor handwriting can make it difficult for readers to understand what a student is trying to communicate.

I need to teach my students how to hold their pencils correctly, how to form their letters properly and how to spell and write their words on the lines but I do not have the journals, pencils, or other resources to do so.

My students need pencils, erasers and journals to write in, and they need a container to store their journals.
