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 young learners are brilliant and have so much enthusiasm! They are ready to learn and eager to explore their curiosity. We are a small school and resources are not available. I want my students to have puzzles, stickers, DUPLO Lego numbers train, kinetic sand, play construction sand kit, and so much more.

In our classroom small group instruction is important, and these resources will help enrich our small group learning.

My young students will be motivated and enjoy learning through play base activities. These materials are essential for creating a successful learning environment. I can create a beautiful bulletin board to post their work with the stickers, sheet protectors and the sun border. Your generosity will bring a bit of brilliance and so much joy!
