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

Preschool students need a curriculum because it provides a structured framework for developing essential cognitive, social, and emotional skills during a critical period of brain development while ensuring they acquire foundational knowledge through developmentally appropriate activities. My students continually search for answers to their inquiries, and having this curriculum would help extend the bounds of their curiosity while guiding them to discover things they want to know and things they didn't realize they needed to know. These gift cards will help purchase a curriculum that delivers hands-on, process-based activities that help students grow physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially.
