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

We need ways to make learning letters and literacy fun with hands-on and tactile learning activities. We want to create reading rotations that support students as growing readers at all levels. We would like to have individualized centers for each group of kiddos during literacy rotations.

We want students to have fun and be actively engaged in their literacy and their learning.

Each station will be jam packed with challenging reading skills at their level with tactile, hands-on, engaging and fun activities. Each student will be actively involved in their center without realizing these fun centers and games are learning activities. Please help up create super fun reading stations for daily reading rotations with these ready made activity center kits.
