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

Our students are in the Dual Spanish Language UTK class and access to early literacy materials will help them learn their letters and numbers.

They will be able to manipulate the letters on a magnetic tray to help them identify, sort, and learn the names of the letters in Spanish.

Our goal is for the students to be introduced to the letters, their names and for them to gain and understanding of the letters in Spanish language, early on and have a basic foundation which can help them as they continue their learning in our Dual Language Program.
