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

Our class is full of creative learners who love school and exploring the world around them. They will be excited to use the variety of blocks and accessories along with their imaginations to build their daily STEM creations.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Albert Einstein

Early childhood education builds the foundation for success in future grades. Learning through play helps to build cooperation and language and fosters individual creativity in a safe space.

Thank you for supporting our class while we build our beginning foundations for a lifetime of future success!
