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

Puzzles are an excellent tool for young children. They provide a fun and engaging way for young students to learn. As children work through puzzles, they improve their problem-solving skills, memory retention and hand eye coordination.

As an educator at an early childhood center, puzzles are an integral part of student growth.

With puzzles that focus on letters and sounds, I hope to provide engaging centers for my students and improve their reading and writing skills.

My students are more engaged in learning through tactile experiences. I hope these puzzles will excite them and make learning more enjoyable!
