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

Due to the global pandemic we just faced, my preschool classroom did not receive a circle time rug out of fear of cross contamination.

Now that we are on the other side of these challenging times I would like to buy a circle time rug so my students can regain a sense of normalcy by singing and contributing alongside their peers.

Although things will never fully go back to the way they were before, I believe circle time is essential for building social skills and learning respect for peers opinions in an engaging way.
