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

This project will help my students learn letter names and letter sounds. These books would be excellent for me to use for small group instruction, independent reading, and buddy reading stations. They are simple books to allow them to utilize skills we learn in our small groups. It would offer a great chance for me to see if they can transfer these skills over without me. These books would be well received for my eager readers! I know they would enjoy being with each other and working on their reading skills.

Mrs. James Mary Lynch Elementary School Grades PreK-2

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
