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

I work at an Alief, ISD Brand New Title 1 Pre-K center, so being at a Title 1 school I think it is very important to try and teach our Babies about Kindness. I plan to use and share the resources to benefit all our 404 students. It is a very important quality we need to teach them to try an eradicate bullying in the future to prevent further issues.I believe teaching Kindness at our students’ early education level can help change the world.

Please help me help our babies and even more create a better world for our students.

Thank You!
