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 Students

Ms. Virgen's students come from all different walks of life but once they walk into the classroom they are welcomed with open arms and we become a family. Every student in this classroom has their own essence that makes the classroom unique and special where it has become a land of love and learning for them to grow and learn!

My Project

Kindergarten is a time in which the children are learning in all types of areas! Free exploration is a time in which students can de stress and be able to use their imagination and at the same time use what they learn in the classroom. Free exploration is such a fundamental part of their learning because they are exposed to different types of games in which they get to learn different ways on sharing and being able to cooperate with their classmates. Free exploration is not just playing but teaching the child real life skills to use in the years to come.
