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

This is a Significantly Intellectually Disabled classroom of preschool students who have come far since I came into the classroom. We have been working on many different things and I am finally trying to finish updating the Centers in the room. There are many things missing and this project will help finish the classroom the way it should be.

The things that I am asking for are things that will be used to finish updating my centers for my Pre-K classroom.

The music supplies will be added to the few current things I have. The students love music so these will give the students more to interact with during music time.

I am also updating my Science Center which only has a couple of things in it. I want to expose the students to more Science things and these materials will help with that. I want them to experience nature and be able to explore Science the way they should be able to.

The other supplies will be added to our Art Center. We need new paint and watercolors so that they can create projects during their Free Play time. Everything here will enhance their learning experiences through the various forms of play that we do.
