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

Our tk/k students are 4 and 5 year olds who live in the low income mid city district of Los Angeles. Our students come to school everyday and we have the highest attendance for a title one/low income school with a population of about 800 students. The transitional and true kindergartners are a rambunctious, beautiful bunch of kids with so much life, love and learning to be had. They deserve everything the world has to offer and more! We are so proud of them! Every step of the way!

My Project

I am teaching my 4 and 5 year old students all about letters and numbers! These play dough activities will not only reinforce the lessons I teach but they will also allow my students to work on their fine motor skills! The magnetic numbers will allow them to also make sense of the lessons taught and give them a hands on experience. The water play activities will give my students a fun experience in catching letters and at the same time learn their names and sounds! Throughout the year, these supplies will be used to build words and higher numbers!
