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

I love how curious, creative, and eager to learn my students are every single day. They come into the classroom with bright minds, open hearts, and a natural excitement for exploring the world around them.

Each resource in this project is chosen with their growth in mind.

The dollhouse will encourage imaginative play and social development, helping students build language, cooperation, and storytelling skills through creative role-play. The booked balance scale will support hands-on exploration in our science area, allowing students to investigate weight, measurement, and basic scientific concepts through play. The magnetic write-and-wipe board and dry-erase markers will give students a space to practice writing, drawing, and problem-solving, supporting literacy and fine motor skills in an interactive way.

These tools will make learning more engaging, playful, and accessible, allowing every child to thrive in their own unique way.
