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 Students

My kindergarten students come to school eager to learn. They are inquisitive, bright, and full of energy! They want to get their hands into some great activities for learning. Keeping them focused and engaged during stations will keep that energy going all year.

I love that they tell me how much they love the learning stations activities that I have made for them.

I can't wait to give them some more stations in which they will be challenged and learn.

My Project

Hands on learning activities like the "I Can Build Simple Words" activity and the Alphabet Learning Locks will give my students differentiated independent learning activities to complete while I give targeted lessons. The Comfy Floor Seats will give them a chance to take control of where they sit during this important time in our day.

Differentiated small group instruction, combined with independent learning creates the best learning environment for my kindergarten

students. I would love to see these and the other products I'm asking for used by my students year after year for the best learning environment possible.

When students can complete meaningful, fun independent activities it allows me to teach small groups at their levels daily.
