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

It is a new class in our school, and for the students, it is the beginning of their educational journey. I want my students to start with solid foundations and a love for learning.

These materials will not only help them explore science using their natural curiosity and creativity, but also lay a strong foundation in math by focusing on the crucial one-to-one correspondence concept.

To reinforce what they learning at the school, I will look for worksheets at Teachers Pay Teacher to give the practice that some of them may need.

Through their learning, I will integrate some music, and we will be using the speaker and the laminated materials during the large group and circle time.
