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 teach the most creative, curious and clever first grade students. Every day when I work with small groups, the rest of the students work in workstations. They practice the reading and math skills they are learning but it gives them a fun way to practice.

We need resources that will keep the students engaged and excited about learning!

Our job in 1st Grade is to lay the foundation of skills our students will need for the rest of their academic careers. We practice sight words, letter sounds and sounding out words-these games will help my students do just that. With this project you will help us create successful readers and mathematicians.
