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 students are working on dictation and spelling. I am using the Wilson method but I want fun ways to do dictation and practice letters and spelling.

This helps them work on their fine motor skills.

Additionally, these boards will help students memorize the spelling of sight words. It will be fun and engaging for students! The students I work with really need the visual and kinetic support these tools provide. These students are low academically and are getting intervention. Please help me raise money for these tools in my classroom and keep my students engaged.
