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

Materials that are handled regularly by multiple students wear out at the elementary level. Our small group uses a variety of toys while we discuss letter sounds.

Our students practice using tactile objects that match an array of letters.

Bean bags with hidden objects for a single sound can be done alone or with a buddy. This allows them to feel and think through their decisions. Our last set of phonics tubs has deteriorated and now we need the Vowel Teaching Tubs. We need storage and new Translucent Letters as well as Calming Colors Beanbag Seats for another flexible seating option on the floor.
