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 teach a group 15 amazing little learners. They love to be engaged in hands on activitities where the learning is fun and exciting for them.

The possibilities will be endless with all these learning materials.

They love doing floor puzzles but we don't have a lot, so more puzzles to rotate would be great. The phonics games will help strengthen their literacy skills in getting ready for Kindergarten. The stand up magnetic board will give them a change to build words, their name, and explore other magnetic items. Getting these materials will truly help my students get ready and race towards kindergarten!
