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

We are seeking writing tools for our first grade class to support early literacy and handwriting development. Supplies such as writing folders, butcher paper, and other will help foster creativity, improve writing instruction, and encourage students to write.

These tools will be used in the classroom to promote creativity and get those foundational writing skills in the classroom.

I am attending writing professional development trainings and still need these tools to have my students organize their writing tools. Thank you for looking at this project and allowing our classroom project to hopefully be fully funded.
