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

Beginning of a beautiful learning experience. What a great way to help these children unfold their social and emotional skills through play. These materials will absolutely enhance their little minds beyond just colors, letters, shapes and numbers. It will lead students to asking questions leading to conversation with peers. Their interactions will promote sharing ideas with one another. They will also learn about fairness, sharing and respect for each other. Responsibility, as they take care of material that will be part of their every day routines. It will open up their thinking through wonderful play.
