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 am requesting the alphabet magnets, and alphabet puzzles for my prekindergarten students, so that they are able to learn to spell their names and to increase their fine motor skills necessary to learn to write their names.

These alphabet and letter manipulatives will help my students develop the core foundation for learning to read and write.

These alphabet and letter manipulatives will help my students be able to identify letters quickly and easily, which helps them learn new words and increases their reading fluency. Recognizing letters and pattern recognition will benefit my student's overall development.

Recognizing letters will help my students connect them with the sounds they make.

The TeachersPayTeachers is very helpful tool with a variety of supportive resources that is needed to support my students.

My prekindergarten students will be grateful to have these tools and manipulatives.
