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

Throughout the school year Pre-k does a variety of studies included but not limited to Author studies, Black History Month, Hispanic History Month, Reduce/Reuse/Recycle Study.

One of our main components with our studies is books/stories so we want to make sure we have plenty to aide in our students learning.

Along with books we use a variety of other manipulatives like puzzles, games, stuffies, etc.

Having a variety of materials helps the students to make connections and retain the new information being introduced.

These items will be a great asset to our classroom as well as our library.
