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

For my Kinders, school is brand new. Every day is a new experience for them. The materials on my wish list will allow all learners to explore new ways of learning while having fun. Learning can look different for everyone.

My students are all unique and find new ways of solving problems and different ways of finishing their work.

Personal learning supports independence and success. A timer will help them become independent. STEM toys to help stimulate their minds. Letter and word games will allow for a fun and active approach to learning.
