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

Circle time is a great way for PK students to come together for read-aloud and whole group instruction. This past year, my students worked and had centers at their tables and were not able to interact with other students as classes in the past have. I would like to create a positive, engaging learning environment for my students. A new, colorful, and clean carpet in my classroom will make students feel safe as well as connected to their classmates while learning and having fun!

Thank you so much for the help
