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

The environments where children work, learn, and play are crucial to the way they feel, the way they think, and the way they behave.

As an early childhood educator is vital to create an attractive, comfortable library nook where children can sit on a soft rug and interact with one another.

With supportive literacy materials such as a flannel board I aim to also provide opportunities for read aloud and for children to independently use to recall many of their favorite stories or nursery rhymes.

When children are in an beautiful environment the enjoy, they are more likely to learn and it is often much more meaningful expereince.
