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 are resilient, tenacious, and eager to learn! These Power Pens and task cards are learning materials that will empower my students through the use of highly engaging, independent practice cards for use during small groups and at home.

These materials will allow for my students to practice independently with immediate feedback for added skill improvement and success.

These materials will be used during independent work time while I am teaching my small group intervention. Additionally, these materials would be used for a school-home connection for at home practice. My goal for this project is to supply my students with materials that allow them to be independent putting skills learned in class into practice covering the various skills that 3rd graders need to learn. These materials would supplement what is being covered during whole group and small groups instruction.
