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

The treasure chest and toys will help them become better listeners during circle time and they will be able to learn more. With the class instruments they will enjoy being in the classroom where they can hear and follow the rhythm of the music with the right music instruments. And with the parachute they will learn how to follow directions while they learn balance and arm strength by holding the parachute and make the ball bounce without letting it fall. They will have an enjoyable day at school every day when they feel rewarded it. And having so much fun every time they used the instruments during music and movement or the parachute during outdoor activities.
