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

Please donate to our PreK classroom library. These books will be a great addition to our library. Our district and our curriculum support Social Emotional learning and Diversity and culture. These are all great titles that our PreK students will enjoy. These books send a wonderful message to our students and it is so important for their early learning process. We all need to be kind and compassionate and work with each other in this world. Kindness is key. Emotions are valid and need to be discussed and shared, as well.
