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

I am seeking resources for my young learners to engage in hands-on activities that reinforce the lessons we explore during our large group meetings. These materials will provide exciting, interactive ways for my kindergarten students to strengthen their Spanish literacy skills, especially in learning syllables.

The items I am requesting include:

Interactive syllable games, puzzles, and flip books to make learning fun and effective.

El Centro de Sílabas, Party Reading Board Games, and Bingo to provide engaging group activities that foster collaboration and confidence.

These resources will transform our small group sessions into dynamic learning experiences, helping my students build a strong foundation in literacy while keeping them motivated and excited to learn.
