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

I am currently teaching a first grade ESL classroom. My class is super diverse with languages such as Spanish, Chinese, and Bengali. My students are eager to learn and I am so honored to immerse them in phonics and early literacy skills.

I am planning to use these materials like games and calming chairs when I am working with literacy centers.

These materials will help my students learn their letters and sounds in an engaging way. My students will also have cozy corner to sit and practice reading. Please help bring my project to life.
