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

My students are eager to learn and explore new things. As a preschool teacher, my priority is to provide the best learning experience possible for my students. Adding language development materials to our classroom, will help enhance the students' learning, social skills and exploration.

Our students love story time and instilling their love for reading is my goal.

In turn, I would like to make our reading corner, a space where the students can get exciting visiting. To do this, we are asking for a variety of materials such as a storage reading bench and soft comfortable seating. A small speaker for soft music and a lamp will create a relaxing ambiance thus making the area more inviting. Last but not least, we need a vast variety of books to instill their love for reading. All of these materials will make for a great learning experience for our students. Thanks in advance for your support!
