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

Hands on learning is important in my Kindergarten classroom. With the tools like markers, in this project my students will feel empowered and independent taking their learning into their own hands. These tools can help differentiate their learning needs and give them the practice to influence how they transform their learning pathway.

Visual aids and engaging phonics and math gadgets will also change the way my ELL learners engage in understanding instruction.

My goal for my students is to help them succeed and help them develop the skills they need to become proficient in both reading, writing , and math through hands on learning and an immersive experience in a variety of subjects.
