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 would like to get educational toys for my science center. This center is so important for my classroom. This center helps them explore and investigate. In 3K we learn through play and the children love to ask questions about everything they see. These materials, such as Magic Water Marbles, a classroom balance, and What's The Sound? Mystery Capsules, will make my science center amazing. This is the first year in school for many students. The experience they have in preschool helps shape the learning for the rest of their lives. Children enjoy learning using their five senses and these materials will help them learn a great amount.
