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 need for hands-on literacy materials is excellent! These tools will help support the development of foundational reading and writing skills in our kindergarten classroom. I am asking for more tools for small group intervention, such as letter games, letter chips, and letter mats.

By incorporating these tools, we can enhance letter recognition, phonemic awareness, and fine motor skills in an engaging and fun way.

These resources will help create a dynamic learning environment where students can actively explore and build essential literacy skills, laying a strong foundation for academic success. We would greatly appreciate your support in providing these materials. Thank you for supporting our future leaders!
