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 work with a large culturally and linguistically diverse group of amazing learners, which includes TK-2nd grade levels. Our classroom environment is warm, welcoming, and student-friendly. My students are an amazing group of individuals with various abilities. Our classroom is full of students who are ready to learn and put forth great effort.

The Secret Stories books with sound stories and flashcards will help them learn why letters make the many different sounds that they do.

My students will use the Secret Stories Phonics Porta-Pics as a phonics skill reference tool. If they are unsure what letter makes a specific sound, they can use this tool.
