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

Students will have the opportunity to use the puppets as a hands-on learning experience. My students will use pretend play in the reading center and use the puppets to read to them and socialize with their peers.

My goal is for my students to enjoy the puppets as a way to use every day and learn vocabulary while socializing with one another.

My students are emergent bilingual students and they use both languages in my classroom. The use of the puppets will help my emergent students practice the language each day with each other.
