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 Students

I teach small groups of amazing students who work hard every day towards reaching their reading goals. They are struggling readers, with a struggling socioeconomic background, who's aim is to be reading at grade level by the end of the school year.

English is the second language for the students that I work with and reading has not been easy for them.

I hope to be able to provide these students with the adequate tools they need in order to become stronger readers.

My Project

The students and I work in small groups which can sometimes prove to be a challenge when trying to display parts of their phonics lesson. We normally do not work near an accessible white board or a place where I can put up chart paper to help them through the phonics portion of their lesson.

Having a mobile dry erase board will be a tremendous help in giving these students a way to visualize what I teach them.

Sometimes we need to see things on paper in order for us to fully understand things. I would use this dry erase board to help them break apart words and build them back up together, in order to strengthen their reading.
