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 love my TK students’ curiosity, kindness, and excitement for learning. They come to school ready to explore, ask questions, and try new things. Each of them brings unique strengths, and I strive to create a classroom where they feel safe, included, and inspired. The magnetic toys and lacing animals will support fine motor development and creative thinking. The CVC builder and language activity boxes will build essential early literacy and phonics skills. The science specimen kits and solar system viewer will spark curiosity and develop critical observation and inquiry skills. The community block people promote imaginative play and conversations about diversity and roles in our world. These resources will give my young learners the joyful, hands-on learning they need to thrive and grow with confidence.
