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

I am requesting a variety of literacy, art, and music materials for my students! With the painting buckets, aprons, and paper, students will have the opportunity to express themselves through art. Students can earn time on the art easel as a reward for positive behavior as well!

With the CD player, students will be able to listen to songs and express themselves through movement.

They will also be able to practice literacy skills such as vocabulary, rhyming words, and sequencing events!

With the classic stories, students will be able to practice comprehension skills and use our storytelling puppets to act out the events in the stories!
