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 work with a wonderfully culturally and linguistically diverse group of young learners from TK to 2nd grade, each bringing unique abilities, cultures, and languages to our classroom. Our classroom is warm, welcoming, and student-friendly, designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and confidence. My students are enthusiastic, hardworking, and eager to explore new ideas, collaborate with peers, and grow academically and socially. Together, we create a supportive and inclusive community where every child feels valued, encouraged, and inspired to reach their full potential.

The learning locks with keys (ABC matching), alphabots, alphabet matching popsicles, magnetic alphabet mazes will support letter recognition and early phonics through tactile and visual learning.

These tools are hands-on, self-correcting activities encourage independent learning. The alphabots and popsicle games will make letters fun and engaging. The busy boards and sensory sand kit will help develop hand strength and coordination needed for writing. Sensory play (sand, textures) is particularly helpful for students with sensory needs and it will encourage problem-solving and focus with buttons, zippers, and clasps. The pizza counting item, number bots, math felt, c-clips chain links, pattern block math activity set will provide visual and hands-on number learning for early math concepts. It will also encourage counting, sorting, and pattern recognition. The pattern block math activity set, magnetic alphabet maze, number bots will support spatial reasoning, problem-solving, and creativity. It will help learners make connections between numbers, shapes, and patterns.
