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

Our 3- and 4-year-old students are very active and ready to explore and learn all about their surroundings. One of their favorite weekly activities is called Foodie Friday where we create a snack pertaining to the letter of the week. We could use a few more utensils to help prepare our weekly snack activity. Our set of sensory toys have gotten a lot of exploring hours and needs to be replaced with a fresh set. The children love this center along with the magnetic tiles, their imagination comes to life. They are a daily staple in this classroom, and who could forget about the Play-Doh great for their fine motor skills.
