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

My students are 4-and 5-year olds that come from low-income families or have just arrived from their home countries. My students are very energetic and willing to try things. Our students have been working hard all year to improve their academic skills.

What better way to finish with an Aloha Celebration including water play.

Water day will allow us to incorporate all the sills in a very fun and memorable way. We will use water balloons to hit letter targets and number targets around the playground. We will also use all the different props ad beach balls, backdrops, aloha decorations to have the stage feel like a big celebration and show how proud we are of them.
