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

My TK students will begin a new study in class. They are really excited to begin the architecture unit. We would like to ask for five sets of tools for the dramatic play center which includes a plastic hammer, pliers, screwdrivers, and a tool tray.Both the girls and boys will enjoy pretending to build things and work with their hands.

They also know that being apart of the class, they learn responsibility by cleaning up after themselves, sharing with classmates and organize the tools in the dramatic play center.

We are also asking for the sift and find number and alphabet shells. We have a sand table in the class that they use and love. Adding these number and letter shells would be a great addition to the sand and water table which happens to be one of their favorite areas.
