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

With these open-ended materials, my students will have a multisensory exploration when learning letters, numbers, and how to play. Preschool is these students first experience in school and with these engaging open ended materials it will be an experience they will treasure forever. My wishlist will allow my students to hammer letters and numbers, trace them in the sand and make paintings to their heart desires. The paper will allow me to print off visuals for all students to access curriculum and print out realistic photos to gauge their understanding. Please be apart of their first year of school!
