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 classroom consists of enthusiastic learners who love to do hands-on activities. We also like to do a lot of classroom cooking and enjoy our treats outside in the kindergarten yard. Unfortunately, we don't have any seating for the kids and they end up eating on the ground. My goal is to transform our little side yard into a place where they can not only enjoy an afternoon snack but also a place where they can sit and do some activities such as building puzzles, playing board games, etc.
