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 are curious and eager to learn. Kindergarten is a time for fostering a student’s curiosity and natural love of learning.

Students will use stencils, puzzles, Play-Doh, counters, matching card games and a letters and numbers fishing game to help them develop their math and language art skills.

These tools can help students learn in a fun and interactive way. Not only will it help students improve their visual recognition of letters and numbers, but it will also help them develop their fine motor skills. Students will also learn about problem solving and critical thinking. With these materials, students will have a successful school year.
