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 Project will help my Pre school SPECIAL EDUCATION students with their fine motor skills they lack, the dot to dot is the perfect size for their little hands to gain independence as they dot their hearts away helping them with muscle control and hand and eye coordination.

My students love these markers so much and we use them a lot.

Having extra will truly be a blessing as we run out quickly. They get to learn their colors in the process of creating beautiful masterpieces and helps with their self esteem.
