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 classroom is a hands-on classroom. Having the counting bears, the reading phones, and the play doh in the classroom allows my students to practice the lessons I teach them. Objects they can manipulate makes their learning an experience that gets ingrained in their mind.

I want my students to become independent , critical, and analytical beings.

The way to get them there is to provide them with activities that will heighten their curiosity as they play. This items can be used interchangeably among subjects.

My students deserve the best education I can give them. This items will help me give them just that.
