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

Our youngest learners develop skills through play and opportunities for hands-on active investigation. The materials in this project will provide opportunities for students to engage with our inquiry investigations during both indoor and outdoor learning times.

These play-based learning materials will allow my students to be engaged in the learning process while having fun.

The variety of tools and games will keep the students engaged and excited as they are rotated in and out of our interest areas through outdoor exploration, dramatic play, art, cooking, technology, games, discovery, and small group focus groups. With your help, I can provide developmentally appropriate materials to keep learning fresh, meaningful, and joyful.
