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

This TK project will bring much-needed PE equipment and pretend play materials into our classroom and playground spaces. With items like balls, cones, jump ropes, and balance equipment, my students will have more opportunities to engage in structured and unstructured physical activities. These tools will help them develop coordination, strength, and teamwork.

Pretend play items like costumes, play food, tools, and dramatic play props will allow students to express themselves.

The Couch and Chair Set will help them in pretend play scenarios by creating pretend play and be able to express their imaginations
