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

I am beyond excited to grow with my group of kiddos and continue on this wonderful and rewarding journey of being an educator! I know this year has been a very unique and challenging year, so my goal is to continue making learning as fun and efficient as possible for them.

It is so important for my students to feel safe, welcomed, engaged, and happy in their classroom.

I want to provide them with plenty of opportunities to excel academically and personally. This project will help my students feel excited about being in school (regardless of whether it be in-person or online).

My Project

Secret Stories is a brain-based approach to traditional phonics instruction that accelerates learner access to the reading and writing code. Secret Stories provides students with fun and logical explanations for letter sound behavior.

Help my students bridge their reading and writing gaps by using these engaging brain-based “secret” phonics stories that explain letter sound behavior!

This innovative and effective phonics instruction program will be a great resource in my classroom and will help my students regain their love for reading and writing by being exposed to these silly, “secret” phonics stories!
