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

Outdoor environments should be as engaging as the indoor classroom. Outdoor time is an opportunity for students to engage in language arts, math, science, art, physical development, and social emotional learning.

These materials will be used to help students engage in fun collaborative play outdoors.

Students will be encouraged to explore, talk, and form friendships.

My class host the youngest scholars in our school. They are the most motivated learners. They deserve an outdoor environment that promotes fun and exploration. A place where they can do more than just running, climbing, and balls.
