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

These books and other items will benefit my classroom. The students in the classroom will benefit sitting on comfy chairs while reading in the library. Most of the children in my class don't have toys to play with at home, they're from low income families. They will have fun with these toys, which will help with counting and fine motor skills. When they are at school, it's a safe, fun and nurturing environment, so having the Legos and other manipulative are good for them to utilize. The classroom is a place that my students really enjoy, adding more items in there would benefit them. The balls will be fun to use at recess. My students like to write and draw, so the expo markers will be great. My students are the best pre-k classroom. They're funny, loving and kind to each other.
