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

Help me give my students opportunities to be creative while building with peers through outdoor play. Watching young learners have the freedom to self-select activities in an open space is priceless!

Outdoor play benefits young learners cognitively, socially and physically.

The items funded by this project will promote open-ended creative outdoor play and provide opportunities for collaboration, social skills and gross motor development. I am asking for building sets that will promote open-ended creative play, provide opportunities for collaboration, and support gross motor development. In particular, the panda village set block set will foster and expand creative and social play in the natural environment. I am also asking for stilts and balance/obstacle course to support students' balance, coordination, and strength though play. The storage bin will keep all these wonderful resources safe, organized and ready-to-use.

Students in our program have two recess periods and by getting this project funded will provide many rich outdoor learning opportunities for the 45+ TK students in our program. Thank you so much for helping!
