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

Our reading block is an important part of the day. I am requesting materials that will help us start on the right track. My students will be able to use the headphones while they work on literacy apps and assessments using the technology assigned. The testing dividers are needed and extremely useful when students take assessments at the end of the week. The reward jar will be used as an incentive for when students reach their goal when it comes to reading or working during small group instruction. The fluency charts will be used to sharpen their phonic skills when working during small group.
