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 am so excited to teach this year's incoming second graders! They love to learn and apply what they have been taught in their rotations and small groups! I love that they are eager to learn and apply their new skills!

These reading phones and markers will give the students a fresh start in small groups in second grade!

They will use fun and engaging materials to stay excited during the lessons! In small groups, when using fun and different materials other than just wooden pencils I have observed more engagement and participation from the kiddos!
