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

Hands-on learning experiences are super important for us in first grade because they help us learn about letters and words in a really fun way! Instead of just sitting and listening, like when we hear stories or do worksheets, hands-on activities let us touch letters, mix sounds, and build words ourselves.

For example, when we use foam letter tiles or magnetic letters, we can see and feel how words are made.

It's like playing with puzzle pieces that make up words! This helps us understand how letters work together to make different sounds, which is super helpful when we're learning to read and write.

When we do hands-on activities like spelling words using magnetic letter discs or playing phonics games together, it gets us moving and working together as a team. We learn from trying things out and helping each other, which makes it easier to remember what we learn. Plus, it's so much fun!

Hands-on learning in phonics makes learning feel real because we get to do things ourselves. It helps us get better at reading and writing because we really understand how words are put together. It's like building a strong foundation for reading and writing that will help us as we get older.

So, doing hands-on activities in phonics isn't just about having fun (even though it is!), it's about making sure we really understand how words and sounds work together. That's why it's so cool to learn this way in first grade!
