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

Reading is fun, but can be made even more fun with the help of the Novel Effect app! I am hoping to get this fun app that allows books to come alive with sound effects and music.

While reading aloud, the app's technology hears your voice and adds in sound effects and music to make the story even more fun and engaging!

This project is for the app and several fun books that can be used with their sound effects. I know my students and know how excited they would be to listen to these books with the fun added effects!

The students can then draw their favorite part on their new drawing pads in a lavender scented room. The Pre-K student can't write words about the stories we read, but they can have fun drawing about the story we just read.
