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

The following books and accessories will be utilized in class to provide students with hands-on experience, consisting of different books and plush toys, to support students' visual experience and facilitate a deeper understanding of the material. The incorporation of craft materials into learning activities serves as a catalyst for refining fine motor skills, promoting tactile exploration, and cultivating a deeper understanding of concepts through hands-on experience, such as emotion learning centers. Sentence strips will be used for class activities such as 100 day of School hats and Christmas hats throughout the year.
