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

Help me give my students the ability to become creative writers and illustrators! The writing process isn't an easy one but when you have the materials readily available to get those creative juices flowing it becomes a little easier to handle.

The materials I chose will help my students become motivated and encouraged even through this process.

I chose the books because it includes a place to draw their pictures which students love to focus on as they are completing their writing, it gives them something to look forward to once they're writing is completed! I also included drawing materials so that they can really make their pictures come alive through colors and boldness!
