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

We are a fairly new preschool program in a high school. We are looking to add to our outside environment to continue to learn and grow. We would like to extend our classroom learning to outside utilizing picnic tables to use for activities that we can take outside with us. We would like to use magnifying glasses to explore what we find outside. We would like to add tinker toys, and connecting blocks to use outside. We would also like to add books to help our high schoolers and teachers to use to add activities in the classroom. Thank you for any help you can give.

Grades PreK-2
