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 would love to give my students more decodable reading books, some great learning resources for reading groups, and some really cool robotic mice to program! It's the little things that make school better, and these items are sure to make a big difference!

I am committed to teaching students to read, code, and be good citizens.

I believe that play time is the best time for teaching students how to work through struggles and make friends. I believe these materials will help me get kindergarten students there! I am continually amazed at all that they create and learn when working together.
