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 students in my class come from varied backgrounds where they may or may not have learned foundational language skills.

We are learning letter names, letter sounds, and developing our writing skills.

Since we are still learning our sounds and letters, it is helpfully to have tactile options to explore with.

The technology component is very motivating for many students and getting used to a keyboard and learning proper keyboarding techniques will help students access their online resource easier.

As sensory integration is important with my students, we enjoy using different methods to write. We will use the stampers to build words without having to worry about making each letter correctly.

For students who are ready to move beyond letter sounds and names, the graphic organizers and writing prompts will help develop better writing ideas and support writing longer passages.
