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 students' enthusiasm for the world around them is inspiring.

They make teaching enjoyable and fulfilling!

Kindergarteners learn best through play and exploration, and I keep that in mind as I create differentiated lessons to accommodate their different learning styles.

My students are a creative bunch who are excited about using manipulatives to build. They have wonderful imaginations that inspire lots of inventive structures.

Having a Lego Table and Lego bricks in my classroom will support fine motor skills, problem-solving, and social skills. Lego Play will allow my students to develop fine motor skills through hands-on learning.

In addition, my students will explore and reinforce their understanding of math concepts as they engage in creative play.
