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 year, we have a few new curriculum adoptions. With our children struggling to learn to read, I am hoping to supplement the long read-alouds with books for my children. Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards will help me to print the specified vocabulary and sight words for our different units of study.

Leveled readers that match our new language arts curriculum will help to involve my students in their learning by engaging them with the stories personally.

I have looked ahead to our next couple of units of study and found a few books that will match the curriculum while allowing my students to read the pages themselves. These books will complement the new curriculum in our classroom.

I would also love to supplement the vocabulary and skills words with Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards. Some teachers have already done the hard work or creating these cards for CKLA lessons. I will not need to recreate the wheel!

Thank you for considering my grant and my children for your donation.
