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

My PreK students love coming to school to learn and interact with their friends. Although the majority of them come from low-income families, they come to school every day with a smile on their face.

Each child comes to school eager and ready to be challenged and learn!

We are on the move in our classroom. We are constantly mixing things up throughout the day. Large group, small group, partner work, and individual work opportunities are utilized daily. Finding the best way for everyone to learn is my goal.

My Project

With the current health pandemic happening, these face mask will help me keep my students safe while being in the classroom. Having multiple masks for students lets them use one, take one home, and keep one in the classroom for emergencies. This way students are using their masks and being safe at all times. Being in a PreK class, kids tend to lose their items. For that reason the eye glasses straps will allow me to hook them on the students' masks and they can wear their mask around their neck and not lose it.

These face masks will allow students to personalize their own mask and get them excited to wear them .

I plan on using these materials as a welcome to school activity and a way to build a relationship with my students while being safe. Students will select 2-3 iron patches to decorate their face masks and tell us a little about their personality.
