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 Pre-K friends have been so excited to be in school. They have enjoyed learning about different things throughout the year! I will be using the new supplies for our independent literacy centers for my special education and general education students.

I would love to give my friends different literacy center options to help motivate them more during their independent time.

I requested some phonological awareness materials like letter matching, syllables, rhyming, and many more. These materials could be used for our centers that correspond with our district curriculum. I strongly believe that it will really benefit my little learners.
