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

This is going to be a great year for my kindergarten students. They will learn their ABC's, numbers, how to read and write, and how to make new friends. 75% of the students at my school qualify for free/reduced lunch. Every student also qualifies for free breakfast every day. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so we need to make sure every student has eaten breakfast and are ready to learn. My school is full of great students, parents, teachers, staff, and administration. We work together to make sure each child is getting the best education they can!

My Project

These materials will help my students learn the beginning and ending sounds in words. This is an important skill when learning how to read and write. These games will enhance their learning in my classroom by using tangible objects in their learning. They will be excited to play and learn with these games.

It is will make a difference in their lives, because the games have objects that they are familiar with.

This will help them gain an understanding of beginning and ending sounds of words. The locks game is great once they learn their beginning, middle, and ending sounds to match the picture with the word.
