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

My students have grown so much this year and this is the time when they start to demonstrate how ready they are for Kindergarten. Each year my students show an interest in certain types of materials. Puzzles have been a popular choice for my students this year.

These learning puzzles will help them reinforce Kindergarten readiness skills.

They will be able to match letters to initial sounds, numbers to quantities and words to pictures. They will also be able to practice sequencing and retelling skills. This will help with their oral language development as well. These learning puzzles are sure to keep my students engaged, learning and having fun!
