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

My pre-kindergarten classroom is full of youngsters that are excited and eager to learn. As each school year progresses, I love to see the way that my students develop a keen curiosity about the world around them beyond the technology at their fingertips. I teach English language learners in a Title I school and my students are considered at-risk and underprivileged. Most of my students and their families only have the opportunity to use manipulatives such as educational puzzles at school because they do not have access to these educational materials at home.

Your contribution to this project will help my students hone their problem-solving skills while they learn and explore letters, numbers, and animals through hands-on involvement.

In my classroom I like to foster learning using direct involvement to allow my students to maximize their time exploring various educational elements in the classroom. Using puzzles helps create a learning environment where students succeed through their own individual potential and determination. Moreover, puzzle solving in classroom stations will help encourage collaboration and creative problem-solving among my students. Our classroom appreciates all your contributions!
