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 look forward to the day's activities, and they love to learn. They would be able to use these stuffies as reading buddies to practice reading, for dramatic play, and also story retelling. The Squishmallows will also be used in the calming corner where my students go when they need space to regulate.

I strive to make learning fun and engaging for my students.

These Squishmallows will also be excellent for my English language learners and newcomers. They will be able to read to a stuffy which will be much easier for them. My English learners and newcomer students will also benefit from these stuffies by using them to practice language skills during role-play and play time with their peers. Students develop many oral language skills through play.

Squishmallows are always a favorite. My students have been begging to get more for our class. Thank you for your support!
