Celebrating 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 hands-on and engaging literacy/phonics tools daily. I'm requesting sets of phonics, phonemic awareness, and literacy tools to help my students accelerate their learning of foundational reading skills. They need engaging, hands-on tools to dive into learning, feel successful, and develop a love for reading from Kindergarten on.
My students will be engaged in hands-on, fun, and exciting learning activities to promote and accelerate foundational reading skills.
With these new resources, my students will feel empowered and independent while using these new tools.
