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 wonderful Pre-k students come from different areas, incomes, and backgrounds. They attend school every day ready to learn new skills. My students love to draw pictures, engage in read-alouds, and discover in hands-on learning. They are so excited to be identifying their letter names, letter sounds and numbers!

I am so glad to have this group of students this school year.

We have only attended 20 days of school, and I can already see the great progress they are making since the beginning of the school.

My Project

These binders and binder storage unit will make a difference in my students' learning. The materials will be used in my Pre-K classroom. The binders that will be purchased will be used to place letter tracing sheets.

My students will practice letter tracing daily to improve their writing.

Writing is essential and needs to be modeled every day. I will teach my students each day how to properly form letters. My wish this school year is for my beloved Pre-K students to have a love for learning, especially writing. I love Pre-K.
