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 work with fifteen 3–5-year-old diverse learners. We need to restock these materials in order to continue to be able to use some of our centers that do not have these materials.

Playing is learning!

Paint, paper, smocks, and crayons help build the fine motor skills that many of our students need to strengthen in order to prepare them for the rest of their school career. We use these materials in a variety of centers throughout our day and my students are always excited for new projects and the materials to complete these projects.
