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

My students come to school with big smiles and enthusiasm to learn. Each of them is unique, and it amazes me how they grow each day. These materials will help us with our daily activities and to have a fantastic year.

I want to give my students the materials we need to make different manipulatives, teacher-made activities, different opportunities to practice writing their names, sight words, letters, and numbers.

These manipulatives and teacher-made activities are focused on helping them learn the letter names and sounds, reading and spelling sight words, counting, adding and subtracting, and writing their names. These activities are for our small group and independent learning. Using the different writing materials like the crayons, markers, and magnetic boards will help the students to practice writing their name, letters, sight words, and numbers.

Since there is COVID, my students will use their reusable water bottles instead of drinking directly from the fountain. This is not only about safety but it also teaches them how to reduce waste and reuse water bottles. With your help, I can motivate them to make their Kindergarten year a success.
