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 love the excitement of my students as they learn how to write sentences and the structure of a sentence. The lap whiteboards will be a great tool for the students to practice writing. Using the whiteboard will give them the opportunity to write down their thoughts on the whiteboard before applying it to paper.

My curious and motivated students are learning how to write sentences and the structure of a sentence.

The lap whiteboards will be a great tool for the students to practice writing. Using the whiteboard will give them the opportunity to write down their thoughts on the whiteboard before applying it to paper. It looks like this would be lots of fun and I'm sure my students and I will enjoy using the sentence block starters. We also need high interest reading books, phonics, reading games, story cubes, and a Pop for Sight Words Game.
