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

The magnetic tiles will serve as a versatile tool in our purposeful play block. The puzzles and the construction race set will also be used during our purposeful play block to offer opportunities to use their imagination and work together. Hands on academic activates such as letter sorts, sort vs long vowels, and interactive 100's charts will be used during our math and ELA blocks. All students will be able to use materials at their level and enhance their learning experience.

By donating to this project, you are helping a first year teacher create a developmentally appropriate classroom for all students.

These items will be used in my classroom for years to come and help make learning fun for our youngest learners.
