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

Learning in Pre-K is all about playing, pretending and exploring! I have a dream to bring all that learning outdoors in the beautiful South Texas sun!

With your help I would like to acquire a colorful parachute and balls plus painting birdhouses which will have an impact and an experience they will forever remember!

I can imagine all the vocabulary and socializing that will happen in these outdoor learning areas.

Pre-K is the foundation of their educational journey and I want them to have memories of having fun while learning at the same time!
