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

I would like some items to help my kindergarten classroom with organization and student engagement.

We love to start our day with a story that the students choose, having a bookshelf to display different books each month lets them see the different types of books available.

In my district, Kindergarteners do not get to visit and check out books from the library during the day. The book bags and books will give me the opportunity to send home books every week for students to read with their families.

The LEGO table and LEGOS will give my students a fun way to work on their fine motor skills. They love being able to build and play using their imagination.
