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

I love teaching kindergarten! What I love most is being the foundation but also watching them grow academically! This year I have 25 kindergarten students in my all day kinder program.

I would love the opportunity to buy my class manipulatives and engineering toys to use throughout the day.

As mentioned, my school recently moved to an all day kinder program and I am in need of ways to keep my students engaged and focused. These activities can help students learn about forces and motion, creativity , letter/ sound recognition and critical thinking to name a few. Children learn best through play, so I believe this would be a great opportunity for them to explore by doing and being hands-on with their learning.
