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

Learning to read and write is no easy task, but my students are learning faster this year than they ever have before, and I need new materials to keep up! My students love learning about letters, sounds, and words, and are so excited to be reading and writing simple words. They have really unlocked the power of reading and writing!

These magnetic letters and CVC puzzles will give them new and exciting literacy centers to practice every day in fun and hands-on ways.

They will love to use the magnetic letters to write their names and the names of their friends, and we'll use them every day during our literacy lesson to explore new words. The puzzles and games will be a popular choice during literacy centers when students will get to pick activities to practice with their friends.
