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 special ed students need a lot of visual reminders and manipulatives so that they can practice and learn phonics. Unfortunately, anything that is well loved and well used wears out faster than we'd like it to. With school budgets the way they are, we cannot always get replacements for the things we need.

Laminating the phonics cards, practice sheets and letter cards will help to keep them safe and clean.

I want my children to be able to build words and sentences in a fun and tactile way that addresses their various learning modalities. Additionally, I want to be able to laminate their finished writing and projects so that they can save them as evidence of how far they've come.

A laminating machine is one of those little extras in a classroom that turns out to be an invaluable resource!
