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

Each child in my classroom learns differently but what they all have in common is their desire to learn to read. I have scholars tell me they want to learn how to read so they can read to their little brother or sister at bedtime. Their eyes always light up once they have read their first sentence in a book. I will never forget when a student asked to take the book they learned home to read to her little sister. She was so proud of herself and wanted to share her learning with her sister.

My Project

These materials will make a tremendous difference in our classroom because they are so fun! We will use these activities during guided reading and center work. I try to make my activities very engaging so my students will want to do it. That requires a lot of prep time and these ready to go centers will give me extra time to plan other activities for whole group. Paper and pencil gets very boring fast! I introduce the center in my small group and then my students will get to explore the activities in their independent center groups.
