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 6 amazing students currently do not have many of the resources and toys that would benefit and stimulate their growing minds. Not only will having these classroom materials help my students learn and grow, it will also give them an opportunity to interact and engage with their peers and teachers. Additionally, these fidgets, weighted animals, Play Doh, and puzzles will provide an enriching environment for my students! Every kindergarten special education classroom should have the supplies needed to help support the children's minds and so we would love help to add to our little classroom home. These 6 small children with growing minds will be so grateful!
