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 love how my TK students are learning through play and social interactions. This is the foundation for their school life, helping them build friendships, understand emotions, and work together as a team. The resources I am asking for, including markers, Lincoln Logs, and Snap-Bots, will help them develop important life skills like problem-solving, sharing, and communicating. By providing these tools, I’m giving them the confidence to stay one step ahead, ready to tackle new challenges, both in and out of the classroom. These early experiences will set them up for success, making learning feel fun and natural as they grow.
