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

My young kindergarten students need manipulatives that will make learning more interesting and fun. The letter pocket chart will provide focused, daily practice with every letter of the alphabet. The photo library and the bulletin board letter posters visuals will promote vocabulary development.

The math manipulatives will help students with counting and developing their mathematical thinking.

The geometric block pattern cards will help students explore patterns, properties of shapes, and symmetry.

All these resources will make learning for my students much more interesting and fun. Please help me bring my students the resources that will give them an unforgettable learning experience.
