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 teach a lively group of kindergarteners who are full of curiosity, energy, and excitement for learning. Every day is a big adventure as they build the foundations for reading, math, and social skills. They thrive with structure, clear routines, and hands-on tools that help them stay focused and feel successful in our classroom community.

This project will help my young learners stay organized and on task during independent work and tech time.

Headphones will allow students to focus during iPad activities without distractions. Name tags and number dots will keep our materials in order and help students find their seats and iPads easily.

An Echo Dot will help us manage transitions by giving friendly reminders and playing music or timers for routines like clean-up or center time. A laser pointer will allow me to highlight information on our classroom screen, keeping students visually engaged from any part of the room.

These tools are simple, but powerful, in helping my kindergarteners feel confident and ready to learn each day.
