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

My students have not had a typical school year because they were kindergartners in March of 2020. They are the sweetest, most hard-working students who have significant gaps created by COVID, which is not their fault! I want to close those gaps as much as possible before they move onto third grade by having decodable in the classroom for them to read at their level.

These resources like the decodable books and phonics books will help my students become stronger readers and set them on a path for success in third grade.

COVID has negatively affected all of their school life, and these resources will bring excitement into my classroom to end the year strong. The decodable books will help students strengthen their oral fluency. The phonics games and phonemic awareness tools will help students decode and read words. The picture books will help students with listening skills and allow them to describe the events of a story. Students will use the dry erase boards to answer questions and participate in a whole new way. The decodable books and phonics books will strengthen small group time.
