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
From twenty years of experience, I can tell you things I know to be true about first graders. First is that when they have colorful, graphic materials, they become excited about learning. Scholastic News will be a supportive supplement to our social studies and science programs. We can annotate the consumables, and Scholastic always connects the magazines with engaging digital content.
I added the picture books to this project so each student will have their own book to take home.
They all need more practice reading, and this will be a fun way to support their fluency and comprehension.
When we read our books it's also a great opportunity to learn new vocabulary words. I always tie a physical response to each word, then we write about them in our vocabulary journals. I love when they get out their journals during writing to incorporate their new vocabulary words. The journals give them a sense of empowerment, especially my students learning English.
When we're writing we use a lot of phonics strategies to help spell words, but some words require a dictionary. I love the Lakeshore Word Journal because there is room to add words from books we've read or curriculum we're using.
I look forward to starting the school year strong with these materials!
