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

Some of my incoming 1st-grade students will begin the new school year as new readers and will be developing a love for many kinds of books. The primary grades are instrumental in fostering reading skills. The books in this project will help my kids build a solid foundation for their learning throughout school and beyond!

Students need a range of reading materials to have choice and volume in what they are reading during their days at school.

Reading is a major part of 1st grade, and decodable readers based on phonics skills will help them to be confident and engaged during reading instruction. These books will be used in small reading groups based on student needs. I've also added boarders to give our class some color! Thank you for your support!
