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

Firstly I would like to thank you for taking the time to consider my class for your donation. The new materials that I am including will help my PreK class tremendously with their creativity and their imagination. These items will help my students distinguish the difference between some of the materials we already have such wood and plastic and now adding in cardboard. The students will use the building blocks to be able to expand on their unique buildings by adding in people and cars. The books will help the students understand and reference different pictures they can create with the new material.
