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

Every year I get so excited to build my classroom into this wonderful land of learning. When my little ones draw a picture and I have to write down what their response is they get so excited when they see me put a happy face on the post-it. I want my classroom to make each child feel safe and loved, and for each one to get the best education that I can give. I want you to know that my children love to play with blocks this forms imagination and creativity, as well as, gives them a sense of accomplishment. We may have future architects, scientists,or mathematicians we never know so let's give them the opportunity to thrive.

Ms. Otero PS 65 Mother Hale Academy Grades PreK-2
