Engaging Young Learners

Please help me give my students tangible resources to enhance their education by allowing them to create learning guides with adhesive dots, blocks for phonics, and access to TPT lessons to incorporate into the curriculum.

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 are busy learners and thrive in their ways! The adhesive Velcro dots will help my students create activities they can do with their hands by taking items with Velcro on and off, such as picture card choices to answer questions. Some students are on different writing levels, which makes the adhesive Velcro dots easier to detach and engaging lessons. The blocks can be used for building and double down as phonics blocks to work with students on identifying and blending words when letters are put on them. The TPT gift card will allow me to have more resources to give my students to learn.
