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

Play-Doh is a valuable hands-on tool that enhances creativity, fine motor skills, and sensory exploration. It helps students strengthen hand muscles for writing, form letters and numbers, and develop problem-solving skills through play.

My goal is to create an engaging, interactive learning environment where students explore literacy, math, and science in a fun and meaningful way.

My students thrive with hands-on experiences, and Play-Doh makes learning exciting and accessible. It fosters creativity, collaboration, and social skills while encouraging a love for discovery. This simple tool will make a lasting impact on their learning and development.
