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

It is a fact that children who move their bodies have greater improvements in learning academics. Planned movement during learning strengthens focus, increases memory and helps make connections.

With this project I can teach my kids spelling and reading strategies that will stick!

The slinkies and hula hoops are used for stretching out the sounds in words. The ribbon wands are used for practicing letter formation and spelling in the air. And the scarves and timers are used for exploring the meaning of words like synonyms, antonyms, prefixes, suffixes and more!

All of the materials in this project have 1 goal: to get students moving while they learn to spell!
