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 have a group of curious Kindergarten students who enjoy learning especially with hands-on materials. We have a Transportation theme unit and engaging materials will provide fun for them while they are learning.

The transportation puzzle, the carpet and the tub of cars, planes and trains will help my students learn about the different types of transportation.

They will learn how different types of transportation travel by air, land or water. The different transportation puzzles will help my students learn the names of the types of transportation especially my English Language Learners. The tubs of vehicles and the Around Town play carpet will help them learn about communities while they explore with the vehicles.
