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 working with students in 4th grade who need to practice and build their foundational reading skills. The materials in this project give them opportunities to work on those skills in ways that feel like games and that are accessible with minimal adult support. This project will allow students to apply skills we've learned together on their own or with a partner. This practice away from me is important in solidifying their ability to apply skills in different contexts and with varying support. The hands-on nature of these materials/activities helps to keep students engaged and focused even though reading is often a non-preferred activity for them.
