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

Adapted books have become a vital part of my students' classroom experience. Many early childhood learners use visuals to help them understand the stories they are reading!

I love to print, laminate, and velcro pictures into story books and home made adapted books!

The students become so excited and love to participate in the lesson activities.

We have multiple adapted books for reading, mathematics, science, and social studies that we incorporate into our weekly themes in the preschool classroom! The new laminator and laminator sheets would allow me to continuously keep creating and adapting activities for my preschool special education learners!
