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

Our students are in a dual language program where they have the high demand of learning literacy in both English and Spanish. I have a variety of levels throughout my students and these materials will help me teach, reteach and review as a whole class, in small groups, and individually.

Kids love interacting with the lesson and having fun materials like personal white boards, magnetic letters, and flashlights to practice what they've learned.

I have been personally studying and reevaluating how I can better teach my students to decode in Spanish and then transfer that knowledge to their English reading. These material will help me make the shift to better phonics lessons which then can lead to reading which my kids are all so eager to do in both their home and target language.
