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

Our students love to learn outside of our classroom. We have a small space right outside our classroom door that we could create the perfect outside learning area. We could do more hands on learning with sensory bins and a painting area.

Please consider donating to help create an outdoor learning area for our TK students.

These items will help extend our learning environment by allowing the students to explore and utilize creative learning outdoors.

Our indoor space is small, so being able to extend our learning outside would make all the difference. We would be able to use outside toys to incorporate into our learning of big concepts, for example when studying transportation, ocean and building stable structures in science.

Thank you so much for considering donating to our outdoor space.
