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

I selected Phonics games and puzzles. Students use the pictures and blocks to build new words. This strategy is very effective in teaching students to read.

I selected crayons, pencils, pencil erasers, and dry erase markers.

These are basic materials needed in school. Where do all of the pencils go? Our families do not have a lot of money, so we lack the basics such as crayons and pencils.

The dry erase markers are used to write words on a dry erase board. This is an effective strategy to teach reading.

Thank you so much for helping our class.
