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

This program will be used to support my students with English Language Arts (ELA). It's independent and individualized to the student. Some students will need additional lessons, while other will keep moving forward. My students are engaged in learning with a purpose. Students are learning at their level and feeling successful at the end of each session.

I am able to keep track of their progress through the teacher manual.

I can make groups based of the skills they are showing or struggling with based off the lessons on the computer. The program can also support students that speak Spanish, which benefits my students greatly.
