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 am kindly asking for educational poppers that will be used in the classroom to teach phonics.

Imagine a classroom where students are breaking down a word sounds by sound and popping out the sounds.

In kindergarten, we are learning to segment and blend simple words by listening to all the sounds in the world. We usually variously teach this, but now we have a shift where students need to make connections

Having the large poppers, for each student, as we are learning how to sound out words, they are popping that sound with me. For example, with the word cat. The first poppe is the /c/ sound, the second popper is the /a/ sound and the last popper is the /t/ sound. The class is popping each sound and saying it. How cool is that? What is even cooler is that they will think that they are playing, when in fact, they will be learning. That is why I had 5 sets of the big boppers. We need enough for the whole class to have and least 3 and then 4 poppers for this kind of phonics work

I also added a CVC popping game, alphabet poppers, and 2 alphabet popping arcs, that will be used in centers. I hope all the materials give my students a good foundation in segmenting sounds.
