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 want to make learning and reading more engaging and hands on. The puzzles games that I am requesting for my classroom are for them to use independently and use all year long. They will practice their math skills, letter recognition and blending to gain automaticity through repetition and fun activities. We just need your help in making this happen.

The math games and learning puzzles will be used by the students independently during their center time to be able to work together in a fun and engaging way.

I want to make the students create a positive mindset when it comes to math, reading and writing concepts and create their own strategies on how to problem solve and use them the skills they learn in the classroom and life.
