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

These materials will help my students learn by giving them an extra tool for learning. This will especially help my students who are tactile learners. My students are excited about learning and providing them with materials they can touch and manipulate will continue their love for learning.

These materials are needed to reach all of my students' needs.

They will use the play-doh and puzzles to continue practicing their sight words and spelling words. They will use the foam and shaving cream to practice math facts in a fun way.

My students retain more information when they are able to manipulate their work. My students have so much excitement to learn new concepts and this will only continue their love for learning!
