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

My preschoolers are excited about learning and applying their knowledge to build on their skills. As we approach the end of the school year many of my young students know their letters and letter sounds. The next step is helping them apply the skills they have worked so hard on towards building words and sounding beginning letters sounds.

The language materials I am asking for are going to help build on their skills through hands-on activities that make learning to read fun and exciting.

My students have a passion for learning especially when learning is fun.
