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

We always start the school day with morning choice time. Students love that they can start their day with play-based exploring. Morning play allows students to work on problem-solving skills all while interacting with their classmates. These supplies would greatly benefit my students' learning experience. Our current choice centers have become too easy for some. These new items would offer more challenging hands-on learning and exploration.

These specific items would further help foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills all while catering to varying interests and skill levels among my students.
