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 a new teacher in my very first classroom, I spent the summer purchasing items that will help my students learn. Unfortunately, I forgot about jigsaw puzzles. I have purchased a couple since school started, but, the kids are tired of them.

These jigsaw puzzles will help my students because they are a wonderful tool that helps them develop problem solving skills, spatial reasoning, and hand-eye coordination, especially for my young learners.

Integrating the Lego table into my classroom will foster creativity, spatial awareness, and teamwork.

The items I have selected will help my student in so many ways. I thank you for anything you can help us with and my babies will appreciate it, too.
