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 little readers need help growing. I am requesting a variety of decodable passages to help them grow and most importantly feel successful. In my Sped classroom, my goal is to give them multiple opportunities to practice reading words with spelling patterns that they already feel comfortable working with and therefore avoid frustration. I feel that in the general education classroom they do not get enough time to practice reading at their level. My students have unique learning styles and needs and therefore need much practice to continue to grow. Please help me acquire these books, pens and organization materials to continue in my mission of growing little readers!
