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 Students

"Good teachers know how to bring out the best in students."-Charles Kuralt In order to bring out the best in students, we need to give them the perfect tools for them to learn.

There are 23 energetic and loving students in my classroom.

In our school 75% of the students qualify for free & reduced lunch. Our students come in with little to no back ground knowledge of letters, sounds, or words. They are so excited to learn everything that is presented to them.

My Project

My students will use these wonderful games including I Can Build Simple Words, Get Read to Write-Gumball Grab, 3-Letter Word Building Puzzles for literacy and math centers. In kindergarten, there are many hands on activities that help students learn. Having these resources in my classroom will enhance their learning abilities in literacy and math. Students can play these games, puzzles and activities on their own or in a small group.

A donation will improve my classroom in so many ways.

This is my second year teaching in Kindergarten, and am still needing and collecting more and more learning games for the students. The students' will be excited learning games.
