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 have looked at my centers and thought maybe we need a change. So I picked lots fun and engaging toys for my students to practice with their fine motor skills. I have including fun building toys and discovery center toys.

The students need to play with diverse manipulatives in order for them to learn to socialize with their peers.

I have also picked some puzzles that can entertain girls and boys . Many of the puzzles are brain activity. Ii will greatly appreciate if you can help us. Thanks
