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

My kindergartners love drawing, coloring, and making things! They are also curious, talkative, and full of questions!

I want to bring creativity and knowledge into our classroom!

I would like to provide bags to decorate for when we make gifts for their families and they can use their creativity to transform bags and personalize them! I want to have my students learn the importance of seeds and plants! I plan on planting with them and taking care of plants in our classroom. We need new filters for our classroom since our doors have to remain closed and we have no windows. Would like to replenish our tape since we can’t staple anything to the walls anymore.

Thank you for your help and support!
