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

Dear Donor,

Thank you for taking the time to look at our kinder project which includes a tpt gift card to purchase interactive resources for math, science and reading.

I will also be purchasing seasonal math and phonics centers to print and laminate. We also have other some basic items that we need to make our classroom more efficient and support the students in their independence.

I will use the magnetic sentence strips to have them come to the whiteboard and practice their handwriting, the paper sentence strips we also use for name and word practice as well as making our fun celebration crowns.

I will be using the film to print their pictures and have them placed as labels for table captains and helpers.

Once again, thank you so much for taking the time to look at our kinder project
