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

In a kindergarten classroom, dramatic play is a big part of our curriculum. However, our classroom is lacking the appropriate tools that go along with our curriculum.

As a low income city wide school, our school is in much need of certain tools that would help me as a teacher excel my teaching practices.

I would like to be able to better teach my class with the appropriate materials. Having the appropriate tools will help my students better understand what is expected of them to learn the curriculum.

In advance, I'd like to thank you for your consideration in helping me improve the quality of my teaching and my students' learning skills.

Thank you kindly!
