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

A typical day for my students is to start with phonics, visual discrimination, vocabulary practice, and math. We end with a well-deserved fun time after all the learning in literature and math. We have also learned that during fun time, students are also expanding their vocabulary.

These books, bricks, dinosaurs, and puzzles will continue the learning for my students.

These resources that I am requesting are very crucial for my students to continue expanding their learning by playing and having hands-on exploration.

Thank you so much for your donation to this project.
