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

We are starting intensive small group phonics lessons with 3rd graders in need this coming Monday!

I am hoping the blue, flexible seats will get them excited about our small group learning as we make a circle on the carpet to explore new phonics lessons!

The expo markers, erasers, and highlighters will be for the word work portion of our lesson and will be used to check student progress.

Last, incentives will be given at the end of each week to students who put forth their best effort. I hope to have 100% participation!
