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 come to school eager to learn and play. More than half of my students did not attend preschool because of COVID-19. The few students that did attend preschool did not experience it in person. My students missed developing social skills that are important to have when coming to kindergarten.

The books requested will be used to teach my students how to regulate their emotions, regulate their behavior, and develop social skills.

The toys requested will be used to develop social skill but will also allow them to apply everything they know, encourage them to ask questions, and teach them to seek out new information and discovery.
