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

My students have just begun their educational journey in 3K! During this special time, they will begin to learn about themselves, one another and the world around them. They will also begin to develop their skills in letter recognition, writing, drawing, creativity & imagination, and gross & fine motor development.

Gross motor learning is essential in allowing for our students to learn about the importance of physical health, safety, and building the necessary skills for future educational success!

The yoga mats, games, and other materials in this project will allow for me to assist and guide my students in their physical development and other important areas through play, mindfulness and creativity!
