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.

I teach Kindergarten in an all Kindergarten School in Albertville, Alabama. We have many children who have not had any preschool experience. We also have many students who are learning to speak English as a second language due to our high Hispanic population.

My children love to read and experiment with science activities. The children love to connect their learning with something meaningful like colors and science experiments such as sink or float activities. They then use the activities they have done to write about in their daily journals.

We need the Learn your Colors chart so that children can learn their colors, use them in sentences, and learn to read the color words. The Rhyming Houses will help children learn to recognize rhyming words while giving them a fun activity to do while learning. The Grab and Write Briefcases are excellent tools for children to use and even become a part of because one of the books allows the teacher to use a picture of each child and their name therefore each child will learn to their friends name and "read the book." The Simple Sentence Match-Ups will help children put sentences together and become successful readers because the can use the rebus pictures and sight words as clues. Using the Sink or Float kit, Children will learn to read the graph while experimenting with predictions and observations. They will be able to use the information the learn to write in their daily journals.

You will greatly help our class by providing these activities for us to use and learn with on a daily basis. My classes will enjoy these activities for many years to come. Thank you so much for your support of our Kindergarten classes reading and writing through the use of our center activities.
