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 Students

My classroom is so special because although we have had a difficult last couple of years, my students will show up every day with smiles on their faces. My classroom is built on trust and comfort. Students feel comfortable to tell me when things are going too fast or when they need help. I provide consistency in my daily lessons in order to see student achievement.

My Project

I have noticed that many of my students have not dedicated time to reading and learning due to physical school closures. Many of my students have many needs when it comes to reading. I believe that the hands on material will motivate by students to better their reading needs.

The fluency passages, word family cards, and CVC cards will motivate my students to read daily.

Students enjoy learning with hand-on materials. The timers in the fluency passages will push them to keep reading. The CVC cards will help students understand how to blend sounds together to read a word. Lastly, Word family cards will help kids create new words by flipping over certain sounds.
