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 am in an amazing classroom full of young Preschool students. Their imaginations run wild and free and I want my classroom environment to reflect that. This month we are learning about insects, so I'd like some toy insects so that they can play with them and become familiar with their characteristics.

Every student deserves their own space.

I'd like to give my students storage containers so that they can have a place of their own to store their clothing, shoes, and other belongings throughout the day. If they want to use their imaginations and be someone else, they can! So, I am also asking for dress up capes. These capes will allow my students to pretend and play all day long. Please help me to help brighten my students' day!
