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 love learning through creativity and play. They work very hard throughout the day and look forward to any chance they have to integrate their artistic and creative energy with their learning. Having engaging materials for learning centers like kinetic sand, paint sticks, and letter stamps will motivate my students by providing new ways to practice and learn. My students are required to complete many assessments and online programs, so having materials for that allow for creative learning are essential. My young students need more opportunities for hands on learning that will also build independence and fine motor skills. Please consider helping my little learners.
