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 preschoolers put in a lot of time and effort this year to learn their names, how to hold a pencil correctly, how to share, the daily routines of our school day, and beyond!

Summer is almost here; therefore, I would be overjoyed to give them a bucket for making sandcastles, some sunglasses, and a giant beach ball.

The topic of animal habitats is now being covered in class. Having beach manipulatives allows them to be creative while enjoying themselves in their natural setting, enhancing and facilitating their learning.

As they make lasting memories, they'll be learning about the beach's animal inhabitants and developing their creative abilities.
