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

My Title I reading intervention students need extra support to grasp basic phonics skills. They will use the donated materials to have fun learning to read by being engaged while practicing phonics skills.

My students love to learn in a hands-on way.

They will be able to identify letter names and sounds, segment sounds, and blend sounds to form words by using whiteboards, markers, dobbers, and magnetic letters.

Thank you for your support in helping me teach phonological awareness, phonics, and reading to my very hard-working students! We appreciate you!
