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 transitional kindergarten students love our soft start morning with their busy bins. Each student arrives to class with a bin of building toys to begin their day creating, socializing, and waking up. Our goal for these young scholars is to promote conversations, build fine motor skills, and learn how to become students.

Shelving and bins are essential to store our soft start busy bins!

All of the toys included are engaging, colorful, and peek their interest in STEM activities. Having an exciting morning will keep students excited to come to school.
