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 will love using Elkonin boxes with hands-on manipulatives to increase their phonics and phonemic awareness skills which are prerequisites to all learning domains - especially reading, writing, and spelling.

STEM-based learning opens a plethora of opportunities for students, particularly through the execution of multimodal approaches to learning.

These materials will not only allow students to grow their brains through STEM, but also provide a variety of furniture options to keep the new materials safe and secure throughout the school day.

Learning should be fun and engaging, and these different materials will definitely give my students the best opportunity to grow academically!
