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

Kindergartners need an outdoor break, but they can still learn at the same time! It is nearing the end of the year, and our kindergarten students are ready to use playground chalk to write sentences! They can collaborate and learn how to play hopscotch using markers. They can make up their own games with hula hoops and balls. They are ready to learn four-square because they have practiced taking turns.

Our kindergarteners are ready for more advanced playground activities that will help them get outside and continue learning for fun!

Please support their outdoor cooperation and collaborative social skills by giving them these fun items.
