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

Learning to read is top priority in my classroom. My students love to read, but unfortunately, many of them struggle with decoding text and as a result, they have difficulty understanding what they are reading.

Phonics skills are necessary to comprehend reading.

That is why I am asking for some fun phonics and comprehension games for the whole class to enjoy and materials for me to enhance my phonics small group instruction.

Wordplay for Kids, Syllabuilders, and Text Evidence Task cards are fun activities that engage students in their learning. I like to make phonics activity sorts and games for small group instruction. A laminator would help protect all the sorts and games that I make for the students. A magnetic whiteboard stand and pocket chart are necessary to make a great phonics lesson run smoothly. In addition, I added some classroom fundamentals such book tape, pencils, privacy folders, and treasure box prizes.
