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

I absolutely love watching my students grow and make progress. Each student is special in their own way. I have seen my students grow over the years and have known some of them since Kindergarten.

It is nice to see the progress over the years.

These materials will make such a positive impact in their learning because it will provide them with new reading material. Some students have not mastered decoding at a first grade level and have already finished the first grade level reading program. If we had additional stories at a first grade level, they would have something new and exciting to work on.
