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 students have just begun their educational journey in 3K! During this special time, they will begin to learn about themselves, one another and the world around them. They will also begin to develop their skills in letter recognition, writing, drawing, creativity & imagination, and gross & fine motor development.

Physical activity is vital for the development and success of our littlest learners!

Through physical activity and education, my students will be able to not only strengthen their own bodies but also learn about the importance of sharing, taking turns, safety, and health!

The materials in this project will allow for me to assist and guide my students in their physical development and other important areas through play, imagination, and music!
