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

Studies have proven that students learn through play. When students are allowed to explore real-world situations, they can work on skills like problem-solving and language development.

Students deserve an opportunity to have quality materials to explore their environment with.

Our current kitchen set has been through a lot in the eight years it has been in my room and my students would love an upgrade that has all of the pieces intact. These pieces of furniture will be used for more than just the kitchen as well. We will be able to utilize it for all of our pretend play themes like a movie theater, coffee shop, and pizza parlor.

Please help me give my students the materials they need to spark their imagination in pretend play.
