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 greatly benefit from learning with hands-on materials. This includes educational games and toys. A big area of concentration in my class includes focus on cooperative and functional play.

A lot of these items are used for cause and effect which helps students cooperatively play with other peers and understand the function of the toy or game.

These games and toys will be used during our leisure time, stations, and both literacy and math times as they can be used throughout several environments/times. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration!
