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 Students

Each year, my kindergarten class consists of 20-23 students who are excited to learn and begin school. I love being able to teach using as many hands-on, interactive experiences as possible. I want my students' curiosity to grow and teach them that learning is fun.

Students are not just learning academics they are learning social, emotional, and problem-solving skills through multiple experiences and opportunities.

Being a part of my students' learning brings me such joy.

My Project

What better way to teach little learners than through exploration and play. Your donations will help give my students manipulatives to help them learn and build their curiosity through play in an authentic way.

As little ones explore, create and engage in play they are learning in a way that will make meaning to them, they learn that learning is fun.

Thank you for helping my students add these manipulates and tools to help them learn in a way that inspires their creativity and curiosity.

These items will be added to our play stations to help them continue to practice skills taught within lessons and explore them in their own way.
