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

Motor skills are an important part of early learning. Our classroom is in need of new math and science Montessori materials. These materials will help build hand eye coordination, improve physical awareness, build confidence and help foster independence. The development of fine motor skills helps build the foundation for important future skills like writing and self care. Most importantly, the materials I have chosen are FUN! My little learners will definitely enjoy playing with these new materials without even knowing that they are learning new math and science skills, all while improving their fine motor skills.
