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 4th grade students love learning and playing together. Let's combine those wonderful things with these engaging math and literacy games. The equivalency puzzles, power pen quizzes and various games will be perfect for students to improve essential skills like their basic math facts. Furthermore, students can work on their vocabulary, conventions and reading comprehension through fun activities and visuals aids.

The greatest joy is seeing my students learn to love reading.

This lifetime love will serve them well in their academic, professional and personal life. I recognize that my students need a variety of engaging books in order to allow this to happen. Upper elementary students like mine are thrilled to read graphic novels and chapter books that relate to their lives. The picks in this project are bound to be hits. These literary works will be a wonderful addition to our ever-growing library.

In addition, this project contains materials to organize and present our classroom library in an appealing way for kids. The goal is to provide an environment that excites students and helps them easily access books. I hope all of the materials in this project will engage and support my students in their learning journey.
