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 students are kind, curious and so funny! They are excited to be in school and to learn. They ask good questions and make interesting observations about the world around them.

These materials will help my students have a positive school experience.

My goal is for them to see learning as fun and exciting and with your help, we can do that. I chose materials that are engaging and play-based - puzzles, Play-Doh, Magna-Tiles, and games. My students will be learning and playing at the same time! Thank you for your help.
