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

The phonics activities in this project will give my students hands on activities to assist them in learning to read. The Phonics First Readers and other books in this project will be utilized in small group instruction to reinforce phonics skills. These books will give students a chance to practice their phonics skills while learning to read.

Students in my classroom learn best through visuals and hands on activities.

All of the File Folder Activities will give my students tasks that they can complete independently or with classroom staff all the while improving and enhancing their vocabulary.
