Let's Role Play

Help me give my students encouragement to role play and explore careers in their community

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Castano's classroom raised $307

This project is fully funded

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

I love that my students are eager to learn and teach me something every day. These materials will make a difference in their learning because they will expose them to careers, items they might see around town or that they are curious about, and how to be gentle by caring for the classroom baby dolls.

A small group activity that I can play with the children will be to make a letter to someone special and to send it to them through the mail box.

The students will learn about the mail process.
