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

By incorporating literacy games and shared readings into their instructional practices, I can create engaging and effective learning experiences that benefit students in a variety of ways. Participating in literacy activities can boost students' self-esteem and confidence in their abilities. Shared readings and group games provide opportunities for students to interact with their peers, improving their communication and social skills. Stories often explore a variety of emotions and experiences, helping students develop empathy and understanding for others. Engaging in enjoyable literacy activities can also help students relax and reduce stress. A fun and supportive learning environment fostered by literacy games and shared readings can contribute to a positive classroom culture.
