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

Please help my students discover new adventures in Kinder. Students love when I read to them. My students will be able to listen and share Curious George and his adventures. We will have a Curious George Thematic Unit where we will the teacher will read the Curious George book set. We will have a puppet for dramatic play center. We will have a All About Monkeys center where the students will research about monkeys. We will also have a create a monkey center. The project will help us have fun while learning through literature. The items will help make centers for the students and be curious in kinder with the Curious George book set.
