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 Pre-k learners are just months away from their Kindergarten year, where play time moves from games in Centers, to games at tables. We are trying to prepare them with cooperative literacy and math games, but currently those items are jam packed into our closet with no organization. The result is that chaos ensues as we search for specific games in the mess.

Bins will help us eliminate student wait-time by getting our literacy and math games organized.

Neat closets will help us get straight into the fun of learning.
