Celebrating 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
Every day, I am amazed by the curiosity, joy, and energy my Pre-K students bring to the classroom. They are eager to explore, learn, and make connections with each other. Recess is a special time where they not only get to move their bodies but also develop important social skills and a love for outdoor play. I love watching them laugh, collaborate, and overcome challenges as they grow and learn together.
This new outdoor play equipment will provide endless opportunities for my students to stay active and creative while building essential skills.
The balance beams and hula hoops will help them improve coordination and motor skills, while the bubble wands will encourage imaginative play and sensory exploration. With items like soft balls and jump ropes, my students will engage in group games that promote teamwork and communication. These tools will help foster a safe, fun, and interactive environment where my young learners can thrive both physically and socially.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
