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

I have the best students! They are all 4 or 5 years old, and they still have that love to create and build.

They will love being able to hang out with all the different Color Monsters library buddies!

The Color Monster is one of their absolute favorite books.

They will be able to make words at our light table with the translucent letters. My littles love to be able to build with life size stuff, such as the large building bricks in this order.

I am looking forward to being able to expand their world with all of the items in our order! Thank you for being apart of growing a child's mind!
