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 students are excited to be in the classroom and this is their first school experience as 3 year old preschoolers. Having these materials such as bingo dabbers, yarn, colorful masking tape, and other materials to use their imagination and create wildly fun projects for friends and family.

Color is important to children, as it acknowledges their personalities and grabs their attention in the world around them.

Help me provide my students the materials they need to be themselves, increase fine motor abilities and love learning even more as they explore and use materials in the art center.
