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

These materials will allow my students to engage in hands on learning activities that will build upon their phonemic awareness. My students enjoy learning through games and have fun working with their teacher and their peers!

The alphabet arch and letter tiles will engage my students in beginning their letter recognition skills.

The

The class sets of magnetic letters will be used as a hands on activity, not only for letter recognition, but also for building words and manipulting their letters and sounds to make new words!
