Celebrating 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
Kindergarten sets the academic groundwork for kiddos. Gone are the days where paper/pencil were effective teaching tools. Most of my students require hands-on, interactive learning tools to help them learn.
Providing my students with sensory letter (& number) tracing pads will give them additional support to help reinforce these skills.
Letter and number recognition can be a difficult skill to master for incoming Kinders. Learning will be a lot more engaging and accessible for them when their needs are met.
Kindergarteners love to learn, especially when they can involve all of their senses in the process!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
