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 students will be returning to a post-pandemic school year. I would like to be able to give my students the education they deserve with the supplies they need to make this school year experience different and successful. The items on my list will help with bringing a hands-on approach to the classroom while also getting students excited to be back from summer break.

This school year I want to continue to provide more meaningful small group instructions within my classroom by using Really Good Stuff Math Mat Dice Games to engage my students.

The picture books such as "Our Class is a Family" will be used to model classroom expectations and also provide a visual presentation of how to work together. My students will also be able to work in centers using the Sight Word Cards and build on their present skills and continue to develop their independence.
