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

This project will give my busy kindergarteners a place to sit so that their bodies can wiggle.

I teach the best group of kids!

Many of these kids and their families live in poverty. These students are so appreciative to come to school and have experiences that they aren’t able to at home. These seats will be used while students are using STEAM activities such as the building kits. Students will use the handwriting paper to draw and describe their designs while the labels and laminating sheets will keep everything neat and organized.
