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

My students love centers time! It is very important to my first graders' daily routine! The Alphabet Rockets, Number Keys, Alphabet Bots, and sentence strips will help them skyrocket in their essential early skills!

The math, phonics, puzzles, writing supplies, and alphabet activities will help my students focus on their skills needed to grow in my class!

These activities will as well help my students learn how to problem-solve and progress!

By helping my class with these center activities they will learn how to work independently, and as a small group!
