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 Students

My school is a Title I public school located in inner-city Los Angeles. Many of my students come from low-income families and do not have regular access to books, supplies, or even regular homework support. They depend on teachers and school staff for support.

They are eager and enthusiastic students who come to school with hope and a positive attitude every day.

I strive to provide them with an inviting learning environment.

My Project

Help me provide my students with pens, highlighters, and a pencil pouch to keep their materials in. They will be using these tools for daily journaling where they will learn how to write narratives, opinions, and informative texts as well as annotate texts that they are reading.

The students will look forward to writing and reading because it won't be any pen or highlighter that they will be using, it will be a vibrant colored pen and highlighter that they will receive.

Students will keep their necessary writing tools in the pencil pouches so it can easily travel with them from school to home. These tools will inspire them to write with flair.
