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 students are motivated and hardworking learners. Our class was created in late September and my students were pulled from their classes and entered a new classroom with a new 1st year teacher. Although it was a scary experience they quickly warmed up and became excited to learn and grow. As a split 1/2 class we need these materials to help us work in groups in order to help differentiate instruction. My students are still in the process of understanding work and learning can be done while having fun and these materials would help them understand how games can be educational.

We will use the the Splash reading games and the Touch Phonics during our group rotations.

Students will have the ability to practice working with other students as well as practice different literacy skills while using the Splash game. They will use the appropriate Touch and Blend with an adult in the classroom. Having different versions allows for differentiation based on the different level of learners in the classroom. The Magna-Tiles will be utilized during our STEM units. Students are fascinated and excited to work with manipulatives and can utilize the materials when we work together to build structures.
