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 love my students' energy and enthusiasm for learning new skills. Puzzles will help them to enjoy using their minds to learn, but in a fun and productive way.

My items will make a difference as it will allow my students to learn how to read in a sensory way and not just need to sit at a desk and do worksheets throughout the school day.

My goal with the phonics games are to support my students' and give them access to material that is at their level and will serve them most.

I plan to use sensory items to support my students' need for kinesthetic learning and to support them in their enjoyment of learning.
