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

This project was carefully thought out to allow my students to have a hands-on learning experience! My room is filled with little inquirers who learn through play! With this project my students will benefit from developing and strengthening skills in areas such as, social emotional, language, and literacy. Each manipulative in this project, such as the apple tree and letter props, is matched to each students interests! Students learn best when they are provided with activities that they can engage in!

Our classroom consists of a variety of different learning styles.

In order to meet each students individual needs, I have added sensory items that help our students who require sensory processing supports.
