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 always have an amazing group of young students who warm my heart, and I appreciate working with an inspiring group of learners. Nothing makes me happier than to see their excitement and curiosity as they learn and grow.

Often, my students have never had their own school supplies, and they are in awe of the basic materials that are theirs to use and keep.

Students will use pencils, markers, highlighters, wipes, and erasers daily while completing all classroom activities. The witch's fingers will be used to point to words while reading. Scissors will be used to create projects. These tools will help develop hand strength and fine motor skills. They are the key to successful day-to-day activities in a kindergarten classroom!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
