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

Do you need a cup of coffee to start your morning? Well, my students are in need of engaging activities to get their brains started and excited to learn. These learning materials, like magnetic blocks, linking cubes, pattern blocks, tiles, and storage containers, will give them something to look forward to when arriving at school.

I will allow them to choose an activity to explore for the first 15 minutes of our day.

I have a huge issue with tardiness, so hopefully this will motivate them to show up on time and get them ready to start the day!
