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

This will be my students first experience in a classroom setting. With this being my first year teaching Pre-K, I hope to give them a rich, meaningful, engaging learning experience. I hope our classroom environment and the activities we do helps foster their love for learning and makes them excited to come to school every day.

These materials will help young children identify and work through big emotions, learn foundational concepts, and explore all areas of learning.

Children will learn and practice important social, academic, and sensory skills with the help of these materials.

Ms. Gregory Adams Elementary School Grades PreK-2
