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 Pre-K students are creative, curious, and full of excitement for learning! Every day, they walk into our classroom ready to explore, ask questions, and grow in ways that amaze me. Throughout the year, I have watched them build friendships, develop critical thinking skills, and foster a love for learning that will carry them into kindergarten and beyond.

To celebrate their hard work, I am requesting special graduation gifts that reflect their favorite classroom activities while also supporting continued learning at home.

Magnet tiles were their favorite workstation, sparking creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork, so I would love to provide a set to each student. The Very Hungry Caterpillar was their favorite book, and gifting them a book character plush will serve as a cherished keepsake that reminds them of their love for stories. Additionally, since playdough was their favorite free-choice activity, each student will receive their own set to encourage hands-on learning and fine motor skill development over the summer.
