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

These materials requested will benefit my students by providing them with resources to promote healthy emotional regulation as well as foundational mathematics and phonemic skills.

In our classroom, we will use the CVC board game during our daily small group time to encourage blending and focus on their phonics.

I would like to provide a positive classroom environment for my students to feel safe and cared for every day. These SEL materials will help assist the students with calming down and regulating their emotions. The art materials will be used to let the student express themselves and their emotions in a positive manner.
