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

Buzz! Buzz! If you entered my classroom on any given morning during Reader's Workshop, you would find 27 students spread across the classroom engaged in a variety of literacy activities. Students are focused, on-task and LOVE each minute of learning.

I teach an ambitious, eager group of 2nd grade learners at a high-poverty Colorado public school.

My students come to school each day ready to learn and grow! Although I have an incredibly dedicated group of young learners, my class is constantly growing in ability and size! I am expected to have up to 35 students next year. We need some new literacy materials so I can differentiate work stations to reach all learners Help us master reading and writing sight-words!

My Project

In 2nd grade, mastering sight-words is really important! Sight-words are high frequency words that commonly appear in literature and in students' writing. We need a variety of materials for a word work station. At this literacy station, students would work with a partner to practice reading and writing sight-words in a variety of ways- all of which would be hands-on, kinesthetic, and engaging! These materials will help reach my students of diverse needs and learning styles. We are requesting tactile sight-word cards, stamps, dough, word wands, highlighting tape, paper, and thin-line markers. These materials will offer my worker bees a variety of choices to practice reading and writing sight-words. These materials will make mastery of sight-words easy and fun for my 2nd graders!

Your generosity can make a big impact on the literacy growth of my busy bees!

You will help them improve both reading and writing skills with this extra practice with sight-words. On behalf of my ambitious learners, thank you for considering our proposal!
