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'm requesting items such as construction paper, manipulatives, and blocks, to meet my goal to make learning fun. We have very limited supplies and funding. As a first-year teacher this is all new to me and I want to be able to provide the best experience to my students. With some help on my project, it can help me give that experience to my students.

My students love to use building toys.

They are very creative, and I love to see the things they build. They enjoy learning numbers and the ABCs. They will enjoy practicing on tracing and counting with the alphabet and number centers.
