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 am a first year prek-4 teacher, and I am looking to create and fill my centers for the upcoming school year. As a first year teacher, I am starting from zero and I am really looking for support wherever possible. The centers I need to fill are math, alphabet, and library center. I also need to fill art, sensory, pretend play, and blocks center. These centers are an essential part of my classroom to help provide the students with different learning tools. I am truly grateful to have found this resource to help me with my classroom. Becoming a teacher has truly become my main goal in life and I’m very excited for this upcoming school year.
