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 students are curious little learners who encounter various opportunities of learning each day. The story of The Big Guy Took My Ball teaches children to explain sizes in different ways. The story also teaches children about misunderstandings and how to solve problems. The story also references comparing sizes which is a math skill my young scholars will develop.

As children listen and learn from the story they will understand how to develop conflict resolution skills.

Additionally, this story teaches language development and conversation skills.

This is a wonderful story that will be enjoyed for years.
