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 Students

Our school strives to find the leader in all students. My prekindergarten class is part of what makes us a family. Our school is filled with students with many unique qualities. We all teach and learn differently, yet our goal remains solid. We are helping children become lifelong learners by building upon their strengths and different learning styles. Each day my students give me a reason to smile. They are filled with energy and inquiring minds. They inspire me and each other. Many of my children come from low-income homes and many even live in shelters. When the children enter our classroom they are part of our pre-k family. Our classroom is like a safe haven and a home away from home. The children are full of excitement and are ready to explore and learn about the world around them.

My Project

These materials will engage my students in active play. Active bodies lead to active minds. For the last year and a half, many of my students were not able to go to the park and play. Many of them hardly even went outside. Now, that school is 100 percent in person, I want my students to have the opportunity to enhance their gross motor skills. These materials will allow my students to practice balancing, eye hand coordination and more. Exercise is a necessity for my PreK students in order to help them socially, emotionally, physically and mentally. Please help my students to become active using their big, body muscles. Thank you!
