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 will be teaching a new set of grades next year, and I need educational toys to help my young students stay engaged in learning. Over the last 7 years, I have taught grades 6-8 for children with special needs. For the coming year, I have opted to help smaller children.

From the ABCs to the 123s, it is my hope to help students in grades TK-1st grade special education have fun while learning.

Through this grant, I hope gain access to educational toys for my students, so they can focus on learning while also increasing their fine motor movements.

While I have pencils and paper, I believe students learn best by being immersed in their activities. For that reason, I want to help these little ones learn by seeing, playing, and feeling so that they may experience learning for their whole selves.
