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 Kindergarten through 2nd Grade students are students I have worked with for up to 3 years now. I was a Kindergarten teacher for 4 years before moving to K-2 one on one support. I have spent years with some of these children and know what they need to grow and show their learning.

All of my students are passionate about expanding their knowledge base, challenging themselves, and getting themselves ready for college and career!

My students are goal-oriented​ and know that with a strong foundation in literacy and math, they open doors that are only opened through excellent education.

My Project

These materials will ensure that students have equitable access to word building resources, to not only extend their knowledge of how print works but to help them practice taking apart and putting words together, which will increase writing skill as well.

Word building activities are an essential part of the day for all literacy students, and serve double duty in terms of helping to increase not only reading but writing skill as well.

The enjoyable nature of all these activities ensures a high level of engagement and maximizes the potential for learning! Students will build stronger memories with words with these tactile, hands-on​ experiences!
