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

Some basic needs of a Pre-K Classroom. Trying to keep students engaged while having a clean space. Keeping the room clean will hopefully minimize any germs and keep our students in school instead of being home sick. Being able to build a solid routine with these kids will help them tremendously.

This classroom is an Inclusion classroom and ranges from 3 to 5 year olds.

I am the Special Education Inclusion teacher. I am trying to get some extra things for the class to make the room function as best as possible. I want to help the students thrive and stay healthy.
