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

This is my second year teaching students with special needs in TK, Kindergarten and 1st grade. It’s time to get materials in my room that are adapted for my student’s individual needs. Special learners should have access to school materials that will help them progress and learn basic skills.

With your help, I will be able to provide meaningful activities, incorporating putty for fine motor, pencil grips for better grasping and adapted scissors for more independence.

Thank you for supporting my classroom full of unique learners. We can’t wait to show you all we have planned.
