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

Thank you for reading our new classroom project idea. I have a beautiful class family.

My little learners are responsible, respectful, sweet, kind, creative, compassionate, loving, caring and hardworking students.

They love to learn! They are always ready to work and learn every day. I feel very proud of them for their hard work and perseverance.

My students love spending time in the dramatic play center. They love to use their imaginations to role play during Discovery Time.

Dramatic play is such an integral learning time for young minds, as it provides a time for them to learn to care for others, build self-care skills, vocabulary skills, and experiment with careers and role play.

The costumes will make role play more realistic. The dress up costumes will be used to create a fun pretend play experience for students.

I am also requesting technology tools like an iPad charger, iPad cover, headphones and a laptop backpack for our technology center to be used during technology center rotations.

Learning social skills in preschool gets students ready for kindergarten and these materials will help these social skills to develop.

Thank you in advance for providing my students with the essential materials to get them prepared for success. Your kind donations will make a tremendous difference in all of my students' academic lives and emotional well-being.
