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 Students

My wonderful Pre-schoolers need help with supplies for Virtual Learning! With various stages of language development, social skills, and no in-school experience, any hands-on activities to help them learn, grow and have fun during this time would be great!

My Project

Materials will help distance learning be more interactive. With your help, I can send home more activities students can enjoy and easier for families to help their children learn. I can print more activities to learn letters and numbers and materials to match lessons. Whiteboards, I can have them write along with me even through Zoom! With the felt pieces we can talk about our emotions, sing songs, and make learning more fun. I've done my best to help my families and I need your support to do more.
