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

My goals for this project is to build upon what we have and make an inviting and fun environment for my students where they can learn while having fun.

Flexible seating allows students to work in an environment that is best for them.

Giving them choices gives them a voice in a sense and a way to explore in this new environment.

Having STEM materials, educational games and toys keeps learning fun for young learners. I want my students to fall in love with learning, and I believe playing while still learning is the best way to do so.

As a TK teacher, I just want to start my students off on the right foot in education and continue their love of learning by giving them options and making learning fun.
