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.

We are an active class of 3, 4, and 5 year old deaf and hard of hearing preschoolers. We love to play and we learn through using our hands. We go to school in an all special education preschool building and many of us come from a high need community.

We are active learners and we learn through doing. Our teacher shows us pictures, but when we learn about community helpers we would learn so much better if we could act out the parts!

We need costumes for our dramatic play area to help us learn about community helpers such as firefighters, police officers, mail carriers, and doctors. By playing "dress-up" and getting into the part, we will more fully understand the roles of the various community helpers in our world.

Your help will ensure that we receive the costumes we need to learn all that we can. Because we are deaf and hard of hearing, we learn visually and kinesthetically (through doing). We will have so much fun with your gift that we will not even realize that we are learning! Without people like you we would not have the hands on materials that deaf and hard of hearing kids like ourselves need to learn.
