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 students in my preschool classroom have so many interests. They come to school each day excited to play and learn with their friends and teachers. It is important for me to keep toys and materials current and to have a variety of them so they are constantly being challenged and discovering new things!

The main items I need in this project are the balance beam, the weighted vest, and the ukulele.

These items will be used by a variety of students and it's always been a dream of mine to learn to play the ukulele for my students when we sing songs or have a spontaneous dance party!
