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

We have had several students join our campus this semester that are new to school. My goal is to teach these students skills that go beyond academics.

During this time of heavy technology use I want to offer students an opportunity to be creative through hands-on play with items such as building blocks, magnetic tiles and Play-Doh.

Center time provides each child the opportunity to practice group work, time management and independent learning. All of these skills are just being learned by my young developing kinder students.

Please help me provide my class with activities that help them grow their minds as well as their social skills.
