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

This is going to be a great year for my kindergarten students. They will learn their ABCs, numbers, how to read and write, and how to make new friends. Some of my students come into kindergarten with no English language, and they leave my class reading. 75% percent of the students at my school qualify for free/reduced-price lunch. Every student also qualifies for free breakfast every day. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so we need to make sure every student has eaten breakfast and are ready to learn. My school is full of great students, parents, teachers, staff, and administration. We work together to make sure each child is getting the best education they can!

My Project

In order for my students to learn their letters and numbers, they need a variety of ways to pick up on these skills. I want to have different centers that will do this for my students. Having play dough and wikki stix is just the center that is needed to give that variety of learning in my classroom.

These materials will not only be super fun for my students, but they will be learning at the same time.

They will have so much stamping out letters to make words, and stamping numbers in the order. My students will get chance on a weekly basis to work in this center to better their reading and math skills.
