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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am a SPED seventh grade ESOL teacher who is working with newcomer students that need dedicated time developing the English language.

Some of my students do not have clear, legible handwriting to clearly articulate their thoughts or do not know how to write their name.

With this practice, I can gear my instruction for the first ten minutes of class helping them able to clearly form their letter strings in a structured way that will help them develop their skill in writing. Additionally, we will be covering other phonics based items like letter names and sounds and this will enhance their ability to recognize the letters and sounds that they we go over in class. This will be a big help for my students and I know they will appreciate this further!
