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 to construct and create in any way possible! In a preschool setting, we try to help students add or build on to their gross motor skills. Which means involving their large muscles! Some students need more help than others.

I would like to add some large toys for the block area so that my students can use all their muscles to create whatever they can imagine!

I would also like my students to practice their balance. Gross motor skills are very important in preschool. They will help my students strengthen their overall physical development.
