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 students are sweet, loving, respectful, and enthusiastic young minds that are eager to learn and expand their knowledge! They put forth their best effort every day during distance learning. They are dedicated and responsible kindergarten students that have very positive attitudes as well as great personalities! It is a pleasure to be their teacher!

My Project

These materials will be used for instruction during distance learning. As phonemic awareness is critical in the development of reading skills in young children, students will benefit from engaging in lessons using colorful and grade appropriate materials. They will help my students develop a strong foundation of their phonemic awareness skills and will assist them in reaching success in reading.

The materials will work to help my students manipulate sounds and develop the concepts they need to become successful in decoding, rhyming, reading and writing.

These materials will allow me to present interesting and fun lessons using stimulating materials that my students will look forward to being exposed to. Overall, they will work to help me develop my students' phonemic awareness and reading readiness skills. In addition, these materials will be used in whole and small group settings during distance learning.
