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

An important aspect of PreK is language development. Please help me support my students with giving them read aloud centered around the Fall. These read alouds will give them schema about apples, leaves falling, Halloween, and Thanksgiving.

My students will develop more meaningful vocabulary by hearing these stories.

The students will be able to use the vocabulary they are learning from the books in their centers, activities, and other learning opportunities in our classroom. Thank you for not only helping my students in their language development, but also building their schema.
