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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students and I are so excited to have the opportunity to request materials that will make learning educational and fun!

These materials and supplies will help make learning more engaging and meaningful for my Kindergarteners.

The pencil grippers will help them while they are beginning to learn how to form letters correctly and legibly.

They will love the "Fill in the blank" phonics stamps for creating words and help them blend and read words successfully.

The letter recognition center materials will provide them the opportunity to learn the letter names and formation in an exciting and hands-on way.

Kindergarteners love to paint and the individual water color paint set will allow them to demonstrate their creativity while having fun.

I am excited to think of all the ways these materials will enhance learning in my classroom!
