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

What I love about my students is that they are always excited and ready to explore and learn. It’s wonderful to see the world through their eyes.

The light table will help my students develop a wide range of skills, including fine motor development, eye-hand coordination, problem solving skills, shape and color recognition.

Light reflection will inspires interest in scientific and mathematical concepts. Shadows, symmetry and the movement of light, among others.

My hope is that this project will not only aid in the development of my students skill, but also their love of exploring and learning.
