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

The materials I've requested will support the implementation of small-group instruction and promote engagement in small-group learning. My students are in the dual language program so Spanish materials for their small groups will help with their literacy skills. I aim to provide them with an organized small-group area with a utility cart, with relevant activities. I want my kindergarteners to have access to a syllable sorter, puzzles, and a photo library to help them visualize the topics we are learning in the classroom. I truly need your support to make this a reality. Thanks!
