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

Setting the tone for the day in my classroom is so important. I want students to be able to come into my classroom and engage in fun learning right away. These morning "building bins" will engage students in creative play while building their language concepts, increase their fine motor skills, and fostering social skills.

While using the morning building bins, students will get to acclimate their brain to the learning environment.

These open-ended building toys will ease their brains into learning, all while building so many essential skills. While working with partners, they will be increasing their oral language concepts, working on social skills such as sharing and conflict resolution, build fine motor skills, and get their brains working and thinking all while having FUN!
