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

Hello and thank you for reviewing my project. My name is Ms. Foster and I am a pre-k teacher on the south side of Chicago. I serve 20 students between the ages of 3-5 along with my TA.

I created this project to give our classroom a much needed boost when it comes to materials that will encourage learning and also make it fun for our preschool students.

Upon entering my new classroom, I noticed that the previous teacher took most of the materials so we are starting fresh. All the materials I have selected will be used daily to help students develop early literacy and math skills, engage in socio-dramatic play, and express themselves through art. Thank you so much in advance for your help!
