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 have 27 bilingual students! They’re all so eager to learn English. They struggle so much and I just want to make their learning as fun as possible. Especially because there are many new comers and students repeating the year! These materials such as the English Language Development Writing Center and the vowel and sight word games will help my bilingual students get reading. They will definitely help my children advance in their phonological and phonemic awareness skills. It will help them get reading and moving on from AA to their reading level that they need to get on. These items will also help my students with writing sentences in English, by making it interactive.
