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

All of my students want to be Star readers! They have worked hard all year to learn all their letters and sounds and they have done a phenomenal job. Now that they have those secure it’s time to use them to open up to a whole new world known as reading. Many of my students are English as a New Language Learners and or students with an IEP. Reading is extremely challenging and it is hard for them to make connections to words they may not know. These games open them up to a whole new way of learning how to not only decode but to encode sounds into words. My amazing students are showing success with the games we have in school but would be able to play more often and work in smaller groups if we had more. The games are also an amazing resource for my multi-sensory learners who can write, slide, and grab their way into reading. The mirror phoneme game will also allow them to see how the words are being formed and to help them check and see if they are forming their sounds correctly. My amazing students face many challenges but they never give up, they come to school every day excited to learn something new!
