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

Small group learning is the 'guts' of an early childhood classroom. In these groups, students practice a skill or objective in a differentiated manner. For small groups to be successful, a teacher needs materials to be organized, in an easily accessible location, and ost importantly, fun!

Please help me get my student's materials to organize our small group centers and create a fun science unit!

Items like sorting trays, glue, and slime activator will help me teach my students how to become scientists in a fun, slimy way.

With the glue, borax, and slime activator my students will learn about the scientific method all while having fun!
