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 absolutely love how eager and curious my students are! Their enthusiasm for learning is contagious, and their determination to overcome challenges inspires me every day. Each resource we use, from decodable texts to interactive activities, plays a vital role in helping them grow. The decodable texts aligned with the UFLI Scope & Sequence are particularly special because they provide my students with the structured practice they need to build strong phonics skills.

These resources will not only help them become more confident readers but will also spark a deeper love for reading as they see their progress and enjoy the stories they are learning to read.

It's incredibly rewarding to witness their growth and watch them develop a lifelong love for learning!
