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

My Kindergarteners are becoming First graders in a couple of months. They are excited and emotional at the same time. We are creating a project where they gather their favorite kindergarten memories and turn them into a book. This will help them remember their experience in Kindergarten for the rest of their lives. They can make their books a reality with color ink, laminating sheets, and printing paper. We are hoping that with your support my students can complete their projects before their moving-up ceremony in June. Help us make memories for a lifetime!
