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 kindergarten students like to make connection to real life scenarios with each reading selection. Each week we have a different reading selection that requires them to draw an anchor chart. During this time they are able to express how they feel emotionally on that topic.

Their drawings are very elaborated that it is a shame not to treasure it as a future keepsake.

I am sure most parents would love to treasure their drawing if it was laminated. So that way it will last longer than if it wasn't laminated.
