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 Students

My students are preschool age children, ages 3-5. We are a Preschool for All Learners, consisting of students with a wide range of disabilities but not to diminish their many abilities! Each day they remind me what life is all about. Most importantly, they teach me that we are all different and that is beautiful! I love each and every student as if they are my own, and for that I am thankful for all my kiddos!

“See the able, not the label.”

My Project

Preschoolers learn through play and exploration and this table will support both forms of learning.

This light table will also support and enhance curiosity along with expanding on student interests.

In our classroom, a highlight of their day is being able to use our discovery center. This table will enhance our discovery center as they will be introduced to a new form of exploration.

This table will support fine motor activities, writing development, cognitive abilities, and more. The kiddos will be thrilled for this attention and I will be forever grateful to provide this table for them.

“Play is the highest form of research!” -Albert Einstein
