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

My transitional kindergarten class consists of younger kindergarten students.

Our Title I school is located in a low economic area.

One hundred percent of the students qualify for the free federal breakfast and lunch program. Most of my students come from families who do not speak English. My transitional kindergarten students are enthusiastic about learning and always try their best. I have seen their language, social, and academic skills grow every day. They have shown me that they have the potential to exceed all expectations.

My Project

In my classroom, kleenex is used by my students all the time. The chalk will be used by my students during recess time on the playground to draw fun shapes and figures. The playdough tools and the feelings mats will be a great activity for my students to develop their small motor skills and develop their language as they express themselves.

My students will be exploring different counting objects that need to be stored in Ziplock bags.

The plastic keys will be used as a counting collection and will be stored in a bag. The copy paper will be used by students to draw what they see in the counting collections. Please help me provide all these wonderful resources for my students.
