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 days are filled with play-doh, sand, kinetic sand, paint, markers, shared toys, sticks, and dirt; and children playing with it all, as it should be! But this also means that hands need to be washed many, many times throughout the day by all of our students. We also tend to end the day with a bit of what we call the smell of childhood fun in our air, as the students get excited exploring and investigating with their peers.

While we enjoy getting messy with our young learners, we also want to ensure that they go home clean and relaxed so they can have just as much fun with their families.

We appreciate your support in helping to make this happen!
