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

The sand and water table I am asking for will amplify their math, science, and social-emotional skills. With the sand and water table, students will learn about measurement using sand or water. They will also explore the difference between solids and liquids.

My students learn by play and exploration, and a sand and water table will help them experiment and have trial and error experiences.

The sand and water table will also support their social-emotional skills by helping them learn how to take turns using the table and toys. My goal is to provide students with a fun learning experiences indoors and outdoors. With the sand and water table, I will be able to provide students with a variety of experiences to learn math, science and social-emotional skills.
