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.

I am a 5th grade Dual Language teacher in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Dual Language teachers need materials in both languages but unfortunately there are not sufficient funds available to make all of the purchases for our classrooms. I would like to use the "Simon & Schuster Thesaurus for Children" in my classroom to facilitate our Craft Writing genre. This writing genre study requires children to use an extensive variety of words in their writing pieces. In order for my students to write a well crafted piece of writing, they will need a resource such as this Thesaurus from Simon & Schuster. The Simon & Schuster Thesaurus for Children has more than 800 entries and 5,000 synonyms. Each entry gives the student parts of speech, definitions, and example sentences. Moreover, this thesaurus includes common phrases and idioms, which will most benefit those newly arrived students in my class who are just beginning to learn the English language. This thesaurus is kid friendly. The thirty students in my class will be grateful to have these Simon & Schuster Thesauruses. It will motivate them to write a beautifully crafted piece of work.
