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 Students

My students are eager to learn first graders who have been affected by the pandemic. They enjoy hands-on and engaging lessons. Most of the students in our class are behind grade level in phonics and decoding skills for reading. Most of them need support with basic number sense as well. Our class learns best in a literacy-rich environment and with meaningful tools.

My Project

These supplies, manipulatives, books, and activities will help my students master adding and subtracting within 20 (Math 1.OA.C6), counting and number sense to 120 (Math 1.NBT.B.1), phonological awareness (ELA RF.1.2), and phonics and word recognition (ELA RF.1.3). Building strong foundational academic skills is crucial to later academic success for these students and future life success. Please donate to help catch these students up so that they are not negatively impacted by COVID later on in their lives.

All of these my students need support due to COVID and learning under abnormal circumstances.

These materials will give my students fun and exciting ways to practice reading, math and social skills to catch up on learning they have missed due to COVID.
