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

Our eleven preschoolers walk into class each morning excited about their day. Their learning styles vary from hands-on learning to some needing visual support, such as an individual schedule to help them get through their day. Preschoolers love color, and the HP ink cartridges will help me deliver that wonderful world of color to their eyes.

The details a color picture provides for students can make all the difference in capturing their attention and building a bridge for engagement.

We will be able to print emotion emojis for students who do not have language so they can communicate how they feel using emoji visuals. Because at this age, preschoolers' world revolves around them, they love to hear and see social stories that include them. The HP ink will allow us to print out a social story to teach them about keeping their hands to themselves, starting them as the main characters.

The magnetic dry-erase boards will allow the students to work on letter recognition by matching magnetic letters to their names in print. The boards can also be used to support their pre-writing skills.
