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 students are eager learners and are always curious about what they were learn throughout the day. I want to be able to provide my students different materials to engage their learning.

The Earth books and the Reduce and Reuse Recycling Center playsets will be used in our unit of Climate and the Environment.

This book will be used during read aloud time and help my students build their understanding of the environment and the importance of protecting it. The Reduce and Reuse Recycling Centers contains toys where they will practice activities about recycling.
