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

Outdoor time is possibly the favorite time for my little learners. I like to have multiple types of activities available for them each day. They love to get outside and stretch their muscles and one activity they always enjoy is the obstacle course. The crossbars and stepping buckets will add some sturdy and challenging components to our activity. My students also love to explore while they are outside, the pinwheels, bubbles, and parachutes will add to our exploration activities. Finally, I like to offer table top activities where learners can use their small motor skills to design and create. The flower garden activity will be a perfect outdoor table activity.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
