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

Reading is a fundamental skill. These books, manipulatives, and games will help support our scholars. These tools are research based and support scholars in fostering a love for reading. The decodable books will support students in growing as readers. The magnetic letters, dry erase board, and dry erase paddles will help us with sounding out and spelling new words. These tools will make the alphabet come alive. The storage containers will help keep our games organized and easy for scholars to clean up. You can help make our learning, fun and interactive! Scholars will be able to socialize, learn and have fun by practicing the skills we are working on. These materials will help our learning become more independent. Please help our scholars!
