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 students are comprised of Transitional Kindergarten students that that like to explore, ask questions, and move. There are currently 14 boys and 4 girls. They are a very active class that needs highly engaging activities to keep them motivated for their best learning. They enjoy learning through play and are very curious. Students like reading, drawing, coloring, painting, and building. They enjoy working in groups as they learn while at school.
My class enjoys learning new things by having hands-on experiences that use all of their senses.
My Project
Hands-on activities like alphabet puzzles, pegboard and lacing letters, playdough and Wiki-Stick letter mats give young learners a variety of ways to learn about the letters of the alphabet and their respective shapes and sounds. The activities also help develop fine motor skills. These tactile experiences provide another way for students to develop their letter recognition skills beyond standard reading and writing practice. By incorporating these highly engaging activities into the curriculum during independent work time, students are able to select from an activity that best suits their natural interest and curiosity. The students are able to reinforce their learning in a fun and enjoyable manner.
