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

We cannot wait to begin this school year with fresh new learning essentials such as dry erase pockets, playdough, Montessori sand letters, magnetic boards, sensory bottles, and bookmark crafts that will excite my Kindergarten students about learning in their new classroom.

We will make memories with the tools that help us create and learn in Kindergarten!

In our classroom, students are encouraged to explore multisensory reading, writing, and math tools that engage and support students' various learning needs. Additionally, arts and craft projects like bookmarks, picture frames, and student writing notebooks for the beginning of the year are an excellent way for my students to participate in creating and decorating their learning space.
