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

I love how curious, energetic, and eager my Pre-K students are when it comes to movement and play. At this age, they are building foundational motor skills, social skills, and confidence in their abilities. They love exploring new ways to move, play, and interact with their peers, and I enjoy watching them develop coordination, teamwork, and a love for physical activity.

Soft Play Equipment – Helps develop balance, coordination, and gross motor skills in a safe and fun way

Music and Movement Activities – Supports rhythm, timing, and body awareness while making exercise fun.

By using these resources, I can create a dynamic and inclusive environment where all students feel successful, supported, and excited to move!
