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

I have a wonderful group of kindergarten students. The students in the community where I work are hard working and eager to learn new information. They simply want to return to school and learn! As their teacher, I want to help every single one of my students flourish into twenty-first century learners by finding a special way for them to learn in an engaging manner.

My wonderful Kindergarten students are beginning to learn how to read and write on their own.

I believe that providing them with engaging reading and writing materials will motivate them to write even more. My Kindergarten students will enjoy using the snap and build sight word game and the dry markers and erasers to practice their writing. Dry erase markers are always a hit with the little ones!

Reading and writing are used in every subject from literacy, math, science, and history and receiving these materials will help the kindergarteners and start them off on the right foot in their education.

Thank you for considering donating to my project to help my students learn, and support them in reading and writing!
