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 asking for a class set of green blankets to be used at rest time. Our classroom is on the colder side and the children would love to have a blanket at rest time. I would love if all the students were able to snuggle up with a blanket.

For some of my students this is the most consistent rest time they have during the day.

My program is a full day, so these little learners are tired and really need this time to relax and reset for the rest of the day. I have also requested Lysol spray to keep the materials in the classroom germ free!
