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

Kindergarten is such an important time to grow- mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Students are learning how to read and write but there is no reason why that can't be fun!

This project is for supplies we will use to make art and enhance our literacy skills. We will use beads to spell our names, sight words, and word families. I like to display student work on clipboards and we also use the clipboard to help us when we are learning together on the carpet.

The smallest supplies make a huge impact in our kindergarten day!
