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

Our kindergarten students at my school are going to be learning all about the people and places in our neighborhood. Part of our exploration of our community will allow for students to brainstorm and develop ideas on how to improve our school community.

Every community is special and different, but we can always strive to improve it!

With the ink and paper, will be printing pictures of our neighborhood and and using the markers to make our edits and brainstorm right onto the pictures! The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will allow us to purchase community helper resources, print them, and with the laminators - laminate them! Students will also use the people cutouts to represent themselves in their own community.

Our Kindergarteners are excited to start exploring our neighborhood and think of ways we can make it even better. They will be using their observation skills, discussion skills, and problem solving skills to work together to develop ideas on how to improve our neighborhood!
