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

In my classroom my students learn best when they have hands-on materials. I want to provide the best hands-on experience to help them succeed in their learning. In kindergarteners we do a lot of alphabet recognition, with your help, I can provide hands-on alphabet recognition with capital and lowercase matching games. The hands-on dinosaur, ice-cream, and lollipop alphabet recognition game will help them succeed with their learning. As well as in math with the hands-on lollipop math number recognition game.

In my classroom I make a lot of centers to help the students with their learning.

In order to help the students with their centers, I need laminating paper to help keep the centers in good shape so my students can use it many times throughout the year. I also like to make fun activities with dot markers to help their learning by making it fun and engaging. In my classroom we also use stem blocks to make learning fun and engaging. My kindergarten students like to build things with the stem blocks using their imagination. My kindergarten students like to use hands-on materials in the classroom. With your help I will be able to provide my students with all the hands-on materials they need to succeed in the classroom as well as in their learning.
