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

In TK we are developing our language, listening, and reading foundational skills. Visuals and hands learning are how our 4-5 year old's learn best. Help me bring some puppets into our library and into our lessons.

With puppets students can recreate stories they have heard, it can support their comprehension of a story and when playing with other even support their communication and collaboration skills.

My class has enjoys several stories throughout the school year and it would be a great addition to their play space. With these materials they can also bring themselves into the story or even make their own!

We thank you for your continuous support to enhance the Transitional Kindergarten program!
