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

What I love about my students is their curiosity for learning in all different areas of development. I am planning to use the math manipulatives for my lessons and for their practice with math skills (numbers, shapes, patterns, and language skills).

For the sensory-motor skills, materials children will explore and manipulate objects using their five motor senses where they can develop social interactions.

The couch is needed for our cozy area along with the rugs to make children feel good and have an inviting environment. Thank you very much!
