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 Students

When you enter the door to our kindergarten class, you will see twenty boys and girls playing and working with manipulatives ranging from counting counters, letter blocks, a magnifying glass, etc. Though my students come from different backgrounds and nationalities, they all learn through play and hands-on experiences. Many of them speak Spanish as a first language.

They yearn to connect and learn from one another.

My students come to kindergarten with a range of prior knowledge, however, I differentiate instruction to cater to all their needs. They are full of energy, and they learn best from moving and acting out.

My Project

Kindergarteners are cute, sweet, and lively, but they lose, break and go through supplies faster than most. My students use pencils to free write, however, they are always in need of a good sharpening. I sharpen about 10 pencils every morning, our sharpeners are constantly breaking, so we could use a good sharpener that can withstand the test of time. The markers will be used to draw on anchor sheets, posters, and handmade cards. Headphones are used to work on computer learning programs. The fans will be used during class to cool off the kids after recess and times that our A/C isn't working. And lastly, my cute, sweet, and lively kids love stickers on their work, so I will use them to motivate.
