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

This will be my 11th year teaching kindergarten and I have always focused on building critical thinking skills, and social emotional skills through play. This year I have identified specific skills and traits in my students that I want to address.

The sensory toys will help some of students stay focused and ground themselves to a calm state.

The building toys will help my class community as well as strengthen their critical thinking, creativity, and ability to share and collaborate with each other. In addition, this will help strengthen their fine motor skills.
