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

As we reach the finish line of our 3rd Grade Journey we want to put our learning to the test! Targeting some important literacy skills such as: listening, speaking, and comprehension. We want to make learning fun by Thinking Like a Reporter!

We want to use our love for graphic novels and current world events as the headlines for summary telling, reporter style!

Using our headset and current classroom technology we can share book summaries, current events, and opinions on video clips to share with those at our school site. Using legal pads to take notes and help us set the stage for reporting!

Our reporters love to read and share their thoughts on what they read with others. They are ready to take their learning to the next level! Reporter style!
