it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
In my years of teaching, I’ve noticed kids learn best when they play, even more so with their peers. Social skills, fine motor skills, building their confidence, cognitive skills and such. The Mr. Potato Head and magnetic letters are as effective in building these skills equally if paired with quality connections, which I am so grateful to build in my classroom.
With your support, my kids will have fun while learning, playing, building, creating, laughing, and connecting.
The trays and bins will help store their new magnetic letters, games, and toys. Children’s play is their work; they learn to plan, create, problem solve, collaborate, stand up for their rights, take pride, clean up, then do it all over again.
