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

My K-5th grade Special Education students are super special and come with many adverse childhood experiences.They live in a low socio-economic neighborhood with high crime rates and a great deal of homelessness. They do not have access to books at home. In order to help my students become better readers we for our classroom library.

These classroom set of books will help my students practice their sight words, short vowel rimes, along with blends and digraphs.

Most of my students are not reading at grade-level and I was hoping to inspire the love of reading with theses new book sets. The new classroom library sets will motivate my students to practice their reading skills. Additionally, the sight word readers will help my students become more familiar with identifying and reading the sight words improve their reading fluency as a result.

We also need some items for our calming corner so my students can learn breathing exercises and wants to help them solve problems in life!
