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

Our students rotate to different recess areas throughout the month. We are creating an indoor recess space where students can play and explore with blocks, sand and water, dolls, puzzles and more!

We need your help to put this area together!

Our teachers are working hard at setting up a fun and engaging area where students have time to socialize and PLAY TOGETHER! Our materials are limited, but we want to offer a play space that students are excited about!

We all know how much screen time kids are experiencing...we want to offer a place for students to use their imaginations, build, create, and work together.
