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

I teach a preschool collaborative classroom. I have fourteen typically developing students and ten students with special needs: Autistic and Speech Language Impairments. My school is located in a low income community where the majority are Latinos from immigrant families and first generation. Most of my students are English Language Learners. My students are energetic, curious, lovable, and eager to learn. My students enjoy music, books, building, art and learning through play. However, my program lacks many diverse and instructional tools and materials to engage in their specific needs.

My Project

As we prepare for our safe return to school students will not be allowed to interact with their peers, and teachers will not be able to teach in small groups. Please help my students flourish their letter knowledge with letter manipulatives. Magna tiles and letter robots are a fun and engaging way for students to identify and name the letters of the alphabet.

Magna tiles and letter robots will help my students enhance problem solving abilities, mathematical skills, language and literacy abilities.

Constructing creations builds self-esteem and feelings of success.
