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 absolutely love how curious, imaginative, and full of wonder my preschool students are. Each day, they bring new questions, ideas, and excitement to the classroom, and it's truly a joy to watch them grow and discover the world around them. The "A letter from your teacher!" resources will help spark their imaginations even further, guiding them to think big about their futures and the endless possibilities ahead. It will also remind them that our classroom was their home and that what they learned from our class will carry with them for the years to come. I want to foster the love of reading with the book and a book marker presented to them at the end of the year. Please help me make my end of the year dreams come true.
