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

Prepare for a whimsical journey, where tiny hands become artists of nature's canvas! In our magical pre-K realm, creativity knows no bounds as we embark on a grand adventure to craft an outdoor kindness garden. Armed with crayons and paint sticks, we'll venture beyond the classroom walls to unlock the secrets of texture hidden in the great outdoors.

Picture this: sidewalks and pavements transforming into our very own textured wonderland!

With a stroke of a crayon, we'll capture the roughness of a brick wall, the smoothness of a pebble, and the intricate patterns of tree bark. Did you know, dear adventurers, that every surface holds a story, waiting to be told through the magic of texture rubbing?

But wait, there's more enchantment in store! Once our texture treasures are collected, we'll breathe new life into them, shaping them into pots and rocks fit for our kindness garden. Imagine the joy as our garden blooms with love, each textured creation whispering tales of our outdoor exploration.

So, let us don our explorer hats and embark on this whimsical quest, where learning meets play and kindness blossoms beneath the open sky!
