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 am requesting toys for my sensory center. I have included different toys for my students to touch, build, and smell to keep them engaged. The animals and sea animals will all make a great asset to our water and sand table! In addition, my little scholars often don’t come with snacks for snack time so providing them with snack will keep their tummies full and have enough energy to continue to learn!

Furthermore, I take pictures of their interactions, and their work throughout the day, print out the pictures and pin them on my wall to their eye level so they are able to see themselves working and being successful so ink is a must to continue printing out pictures.
