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

My students need refreshed and exciting new way to learn and apply phonics and literacy. Please help me provide my students with tools to learn reading foundational skills. These tools will make lesson more engaging on a daily basis. I'm requesting materials for my students to manipulate and learn the letters and foundational phonics skills as well as a new classroom library book bins. This will help my low-income students accelerate their learning of foundational skills in reading/literacy, be able to recognize and apply these new skills in their reading journey and become great readers. They need engaging, hands-on, exciting, and innovative ways to learn in reading in kindergarten.

My students will be engaged in hands-on, fun, and exciting learning activities to promote and accelerate foundational skills in reading and writing.

With these new resources, my students will feel empowered and independent while using these new tools
