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

Planting the seed for them to fall in love with reading with a corner full of books and comfy seats, magnetic tiles and manipulatives to teach them while playing, white boards to make them feel like big kids once they start writing their names, crayons and markers for their art center.

To create a space that they love, all about it, where they can spend time and use materials that allow them to learn and have fun at the same time.

This is just the beginning of a setting that I have planned and dreamed about for my first year as a Pre-K teacher.
