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 littles have had a rough start to their learning journey COVID-19 has brought so many changes and with that so many uncertainties surrounding them, I want my classroom to be a safe place where they can decompress. A calming corner would be the perfect area for them to be able to do that. I know that with your help my kindergartners will be able to learn that they are in a safe environment that will reinforce their social-emotional learning. Even at this early age they can learn so much!
