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 pre-k students are working hard to get ready for kindergarten in the upcoming months. Their transition comes with learning new skills, like being able to write in a notebook, knowing how to cut and glue with independence, and continuing to practice fine motor development using art materials like crayons and paint.

In order to make the transition out of pre-k and into kindergarten smooth, my students need materials like primary notebooks, scissors, crayons, glue and paint, so that they can deepen their skills and be prepared to enter the next grade.

I am so proud of my little learners and am sad that they will soon leave my classroom, but I am happy to know that they have learned and want to continue to prepare them until they go to the next grade. Any donations would be appreciated.
