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

Every day, I embrace 18 learners who value whatever they're exposed to. They, like all young learners, thrive on interaction and engagement. My goal is to make my students feel welcomed and invited into a personalized space.

My students are imaginative, compassionate, and strive for greatness!

I am working to enhance our classroom displays, bulletin boards, desks, cubbies, and centers to give this curious and wonderful group the classroom they deserve.

I am confident that a Cricut Explore 3 will assist me with this by allowing me to create eye-catching displays and presentations; while also keeping my learners workspace structured and organized through the use of labels. Labels and symbols are a vital component of the Pre-K curriculum as they contribute to self-directed learning. Allowing my little learners to explore the world around them by recognizing words have meaning and infusing their classroom environment with print.
