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

Class 3 is a bright and energetic group of preschoolers who are very eager to learn and create artistically. With various collage materials, these will help them to explore and develop their fine motor skills and appreciate the visual arts. These materials like sentences strips, yarn and picture, frames can provide an open-ended, confidence building and independent learning opportunity. These materials will be made available in the art area where the children will be free to choose and create whatever they want independently. This will provide them experiences to share about what they created and feel good about what they made!
