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 class is a a mix of second and third grade students who have learning difficulties. I am excited to use new multisensory materials to motivate them to improve their academic skills. Fresh materials really excite students motivate them to explore and put their best foot forward. I plan on using our new sand to trace letter and words so students can secure sounds and learn more words.

Forming letters out of play dough and writing sight words using cut out letters makes daily learning activities more fun.

Using the ink to print out games and word puzzles in color the students can see the different letters in color which is another way to support their diverse learning methods.
