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 amazing 4 and 5 year olds, who are full of curiosity. They have a million questions about everything. Most have never attended school. This is their first experience in school. These little learners light up when they see they can make their brains grow.

Help me supply them with the basic materials (paper, markers, and pencils) to create crafts that remind them they can do anything.

These material will not only help my students academically but also emotionally. We will be able to make crafts of things we are learning about, as well as "All About Me" projects. Students will not only be able to create crafts but will also be able give themselves boost .
