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 goal is to develop students literacy while flip casting for Bass.

Students will be fishing for vocabulary cards with spincast rods for Backyard Bass.They will take turns fishing and writing vocabulary words on laminated sheets or organizing food cards on my plate posters.

I believe the cards will fit inside the fishes mouth or I will turn it into a magnetic game. The poly spots will keep groups seperated so no one get's tangled up. I want to stock the gym with at least 48 backyard bass that students will cast too. I think this would a treat for my students as well as a challenge. I have experience fishing and believe my students will benefit in that way as well. Type Promo Code: Liftoff
