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

I will be a brand new Kindergarten teacher this upcoming school year and I am super excited to be working with some of our youngest learners! However, I am in need of so many resources to make my classroom a fun and engaging space.

I would really love to be able to provide my students with STEAM building materials to help them explore engineering and get their creativity flowing.

In addition, I also would like to have a diverse set of baby dolls for our imaginative play area. Play is an incredibly important component of the work that occurs in kindergarten and with your support I will be able to provide an incredible place for my students to learn and grow.
