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 love that my students are always so curious about the different transportation vehicles that they hear and see in our schools neighborhood. I know my students well, and I know that by bringing in different transportation vehicles into our classroom that their vocabulary will expand with the many questions that would be asked.

Getting the “100 Piece Wooden Train Set” would not only help my students learn about trains, but will also teach them teamwork and how to share.

My goal for this project is to help my students get a better understanding of how each different transportation vehicle helps in our community. Little quiet cars to big and loud trucks play such an important part in our community and I’d love for my students to feel a part of that!
