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 are full of curiosity and ready to grow. They love showing me what they know and take pride in their learning. They relish learning in fun centers and hands on activities. As young students, they are working on fine-tuning their motor skills and handwriting. Any chance we get to write, and practice makes a big difference in their skills and confidence.

My students love the opportunity to use dry erase markers and boards to show their learning!

We use them during learning centers, but are working towards gaining a class set of new boards to help with phonics, writing sentences, and practicing math fluency.
