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 serve in a low income community and all items on my list will encourage children to explore, and most of all learn! I truly love each of these tiny humans in my classroom and want to give them the opportunity to learn. Education is critical at this age and hands on experiences are crucial. My classroom I have 40-50 percent of students with special needs, and social emotional is important to help each child the importance of feelings and how to express them. Thank you for your kindness and support.
