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 students continue to develop their fine and gross motor skills through crafting and building their sense of creativity. They use pom poms, cardstock paper, glue, and other arts and crafts materials to create unique crafts for holidays and special occasions.

Cutting, painting, drawing, pasting, and molding playdough are some fine motor skills my students will continue to develop if you help them give them the proper resources.

These resources will also help me create literacy and math workstations for students to practice various skills among the ones mentioned above. My students are dedicated and respectful students who have shown to be rapid learners and want to continue to strive. We hope we can get these resources donated!
