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

The use of whiteboard and magnetic letters is almost a daily activity in my reading classroom. The students work on their spelling in the Word workstation which will help them to be better spellers and readers. When using the whiteboard frequently it gets stained and it becomes hard to use by the students. Having them enough will provide opportunities for the students to have the proper resources and materials to learn. The magnetic letters will help students to compose and decompose words to help them learn using whiteboards.

By donating the reading materials for my classroom, you will help my students become better readers and spellers.
