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

Please help me in supplying some dramatic play fun for my kindergarten class during our down time.

We are looking to build our dramatic play center for the kiddos to enjoy.

We picked some items that will help teach while playing. The dramatic play food is like a puzzle as well. So, they can have some fun cooking and learning at the same time.

Our Kindergarteners are what we call our stars. They are hard working and deserve to have some cooking fun.

Please consider helping us fund this project for some amazing kiddos.
