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 come to me because they are learning to read and need extra support to advance their reading skills. I can give them different ways to learn new skills, which will help them solidify their learning.

They can practice their newfound skill using the different magnetic games in this project.

I want to use the magnetic images to help my students spell the word using the new spelling pattern introduced. They can use magnetic letters to spell the word. I can use the laminating pouches to laminate posters of the spelling patterns they are learning and games they can play. The more practice my students get with their new skills, the more it will help them become better readers.

Thank you in advance for your support.
