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

The goals of this project are to enhance students' understanding of key math concepts and to improve their literacy skills through phonics. I aim to create a stimulating and supportive learning environment that encourages active participation and fosters a love for learning.

The math and phonics activities and centers will provide my students with hands-on, interactive learning experiences that cater to various learning styles.

The math centers will help students grasp fundamental concepts through practical application, making abstract ideas more concrete and understandable. The phonics activities will support their reading and writing skills, reinforcing phonemic awareness, vocabulary, and comprehension.

My students are incredibly special because of their diverse backgrounds, unique perspectives, and unwavering curiosity. Each child brings their own strengths and challenges to the classroom, creating rich experiences and learning opportunities.

Having these math and phonics materials ready from day one allows me to establish a structured and engaging learning environment immediately. This ensures that my students can dive into meaningful activities and start building their skills without delay and maximizing the use of these tools.
