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

My students are enthusiastic learners and are beginning to understand and appreciate their environment and the world they live in. They are always eager and ready to learn. They appreciate anything and everything that is donated to our classroom.

My preschoolers are eager to learn and become chefs, doctors, teachers, great artists, writers, mathematicians, and scientists.

I am requesting transparent backpacks for my preschoolers. Every year, I provide each of my preschoolers a transparent backpack. I like to have all backpacks coordinate because in case a student gets lost everyone knows they belong to my classroom. The kids look forward to receiving them each year. In addition to the kids loving them it helps parents see any important documents being sent home. This is a great way to see what's inside and avoid any safety issues.
