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 love my firsties! I am thrilled to spend my days with my current group of students in the relocated Kindness Kingdom! We need decodable books to build readers - Part 2!

In this project, I am requesting a collection of decodable books to engage students in high-interest learning experiences.

These books will allow us to engage with quality literature and practice decoding skills and fluency strategies. I am also requesting the collection of Phonics Read-Aloud Books to teach students some phonics rules in a fun and engaging way/

The Magic of Me Book Set will support our SEL program to support students as they develop self-regulation skills.

These books will provide students with opportunities to practice their reading skills. This practice will lead to increased self-confidence and improved reading skills. Please support me as I work to improve the future...one thinker at a time!!
