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 recently went to the Ortho-Gilligham multi-sensory reading training. I have learned so many new tips and tricks to help my learners. I am looking to be able to get the proper materials to provide my learners with the most multi-sensored experience possible.

The notebook will be used to write the red words in.

IMSE makes a red word booklet that you can use but I think these notebooks will be a suitable replacement.

The sand is used for writing letters and practicing phonemic awareness.

Over all the materials listed will help my students connect to what they are learning and hopefully those connection will help them to build upon their knowledge.
