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

I have an awesome group of Pre-Kinder students who have been working very hard this year. They love to explore and engage in hands-on learning. I would love to send them off at the end of the school year with a bucket filled with tools to keep them learning and exploring throughout the summer break.

My hope is that my students will spend time with their families exploring nature and being creative while they practice the skills we have learned throughout the year.

I would love to give the students in my class a fun gift to celebrate the end of school year. These materials will help end the school year on a fun note and start the summer with fun new summer items. I hope that the beach ball, and the critter cage bug catcher will keep them busy outdoors. What a great way to spend some time outside developing social-emotional and gross motor skills over the summer!
