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

Due to Illinois Law, students are now required to have 15 minutes of playtime within their day. My students love this time because it allows them to have their brains take a break from the stress of their academics.

Due to low classroom budgets, my students are limited to the toys they can use and are not expanding their imagination to the best of their abilities!

Please help us expand our toy chest so that they are able to branch out together, build amazing social skills, and let their creativity shine!
