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

In order to create a rich and safe place for my 3-year-olds, I need to bring it back to the basics! These things will help me build a classroom that encourages independence and builds confidence. Everyday materials are the root of my magic! We are in need of tape, sentence strips and more.

I love the process in which the children begin to take ownership of the classroom.

That is when you see their true colors come out! Please help by donating the basic resources. I need to have the best year yet! Thank you in advance for everything you’re doing for my class! It is truly appreciated by all!
