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

I teach students who are reading below there grade level. They are inner-city students who don't have the skills or desire to read outside of school.

Also, from different countries and cultures that are beginners English Learners.

The items will allow for small group reading and interaction to prepare for daily learning in all subjects.

The ability to enhance their word knowledge and complete sentence writing be helpful for testing. Also, will allow for journaling writing on a weekly basis and game interaction on the computer and in the classroom.
