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 Students

My students are such an amazing group of little learners! They are curious, kind, and so much fun to be with as they explore the wonderful world of second grade. Their smiles and laughter make me the luckiest teacher ever!

I feel so incredibly lucky and thankful to spend my first year teaching with my amazing group of 2nd graders!

Each student in my classroom absolutely loves learning and books! For many of my students, gathering together as a community on our classroom rug for our morning meetings, story-time, and group projects is their favorite part of the day!

My students love to give hugs, high fives, and excitedly share their stories and learning with one another and me! They are kind to one another, with everyone being friends who love to work with one another and play together during recess.

I work at a Title I-funded school where all of my students receive free breakfast and lunch. My students have unlimited potential, and I work as hard as I can to give them the education they deserve!

My Project

This is my first year as a teacher, and I couldn't be happier! I have an amazing group of 2nd grade students! My students have a wide range of reading skills from English language learners who are at a kindergarten level all the way to students reading at a 3rd grade level, so my project is for materials to help meet my students' varied learning needs.

Learning sight words is key to my students' reading journey.

Working hard to learn sight words pays off for it allows kids to free up cognitive resources so they can focus on the tougher words that require strong decoding skills.

If students can understand sight words, it not only helps with learning how to comprehend text, it is also a fantastic confidence booster!

These materials will be used in whole class learning, small groups, interventions, as well as be available during independent time. Materials included are Dolch 200 sight words, flash card games with pictures, materials for pocket charts, an adorable sight word seashell game, and a giant, magnetic lined writing page for students to practice writing their sight words.

Thank you for supporting education!
