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

I love my students for all their ups, downs, and mostly their smiles!

My project is a small one, targeting our specific needs in a highly diverse classroom.

The items I requested are simple but promote mindfulness and motor skill development, including floor mats for mindfulness meditation, plant biome for science engagement, and finally a shape sort game for fine-motor skill practice. Depending on the child, each one of my kiddos deserves the best.

I thank you for considering our class and our students! They are our world and our future. Seeing little smiles ensures I have done my job to the best of my ability, and I will always strive to provide them with everything I can!
