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

In our classroom we make a promise that we follow throughout the year. The promise allows students to have consistent, safe, and reliable expectations.

The materials in this project helps us to follow the promise by providing appropriate materials.

We use several visuals in our classroom for all the learners. The photo printer allows the teachers to provide those visuals. Students will see their picture near their cubby so they can safely and productively follow the morning routine.

Students will also be able to engage in read alouds with the felt materials. Students participate using authentic materials that allows them to retell stories.
