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

Kindergarten and 1st graders are a lot of fun. Our students learn in many different ways using all of our senses and multiple intelligences. We use a wide range of techniques to help all the students succeed no matter what their level. Our students attend a Title I school. Most of the students come from families from low socioeconomic status, with over 70% of our students receiving free lunch. Our school is also one of the most ethnically diverse schools in our state. Our school is a caring community of successful learners which can be seen through collaborative student project-based learning in and out of the classroom.

My Project

Paper towels are a must in a kindergarten/1st grade settings. We are constantly encouraging the kids to wash their hands in order to keep healthy and safe. The sensory water toys will help our kids explore and stimulate their senses. The children in our class are huge fans or water exploration, these toys will come in handy.

Kitchen toys can get kids excited to enjoy Dramatic Play!

We have a good amount of students who are eager to "cook" in the kitchen. The sushi and ice cream sets will be a great addition! Scissors and laminating pouches can help adults better support the students. We can cut out activities and laminate long lasting posters and learning tools.
