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 room is always filled with the most fun loving and energetic 5-year-olds you will ever meet! You can always feel the joy the minute you step foot in our room.

Kindergarteners are truly amazing!

We are all learning from one another daily. Our school community is very diverse. Each person in our room has so much to add to our classroom family as they all come from different backgrounds. Their excitement for learning is infectious to all!

If you have ever spent time in a kindergarten room you know that every second of the day is filled with excitement. I want to make sure that my Kindergarteners have everything they need to spark joy and creativity in their learning so that they can develop a love of learning.

With your help, I can provide my students with new materials that they need to get off to a great start from the very first day of school.

In our class we practice writing our letters numbers, solving math problems, drawing shapes and other pictures. Play-doh is always a favorite in a Kindergarten classroom and we use it often. Play-doh can be used in many creative ways to spark excitement in learning. There are many art projects that take place throughout the days in our classroom so we need googly eyes. As I prepare materials to start the year I use pencil toppers as rewards. I also like to acknowledge every child’s birthday with a special birthday bracelet, which they usually love. The suitcase is to organize and bring to school all my teaching resources. The sharpener is to sharpen the students’ pencils. The apron is to organize my resources and have pens, and positive reinforcement things always handy.

Please help me make this school year the best.
