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

Have you ever meet some incredible children and you can't believe that they are only 6 and 7? I think about this every day. My first grade students are such an incredibly diverse group that come together to form our community.

My students are part of our school community that is very special.

My students come from various neighborhoods in San Francisco to attend our school. We are a small school, with small class sizes to match! While our school might be small, our learning takes us far.

My Project

FACT: Students love to play games.

FACT: Teachers love to support our students learning with skill based games.

So based off of what we know. Why not support our students in learning foundational literacy skills in a fun and engaging games that students can work with a partner?

Having games in our classroom's literacy center will allow my students to play games that will allow them to master foundational literacy skills that will boost their reading and writing for years to come! The games selected are all literacy focused games that will allow my students to work on phonics, phonemic awareness, sight words and language skills. Boosting up these specific literally skills will translate directly into their reading and writing. My students will use the games that are matched to their targeted need to make sure they're learning just what they need. Students will also benefit from having carpeted areas for them to plop down and play some games.
