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

In Kindergarten we are working hard on learning our letters, sounds, and blending our sounds into words and sentences. Our new curriculum moves very quickly, and some of my students need additional resources and activities to help them achieve.

In order to help my struggling learners succeed, I am looking to have more hands on alphabet manipulative to reach every little learner.

I am looking to get more hands on activities to be able to support my higher learners with their blending of sounds to make words, while also getting more hands on materials to help my struggling students learn their letters and sounds.
