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

My cart is filled with a variety of educational resources specifically designed to support students in their journey of learning to read. Within this cart, there are several engaging games that make the reading process enjoyable and interactive for learners. Additionally, I've included timers that are essential for reading fluency centers, helping students track their progress and build their reading stamina over time.

Furthermore, I have incorporated flashlights into the cart, which can be used at reading stations to create a fun and engaging atmosphere that captures students' attention and encourages them to participate actively in their reading activities.

To ensure that students have a well-rounded experience, I've added indoor recess games that foster language development and sportsmanship among peers, that could be lacking due to isolation during covid. These games provide a wonderful opportunity for students to build social skills and engage in cooperative play, all while continuing to enhance their language abilities. Overall, my cart is a comprehensive collection of tools aimed at making reading an enjoyable and enriching experience for all students.

To keep everything organized and easily accessible, there are containers that serve as storage solutions for the various materials. This organization not only makes it easier for students to find what they need but also promotes a focused learning environment.
