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

This Crawl and Climb Caterpillar would make the perfect addition to our classes' outdoor recess time. This five-foot-long caterpillar can be used to crawl through as well as crawl over. This item would promote the active play and physical movement for students in preschool up to 5th grade. This will also help in the boost of social interactions and imaginative play between peers. This would make our outdoor playtime that much more memorable for students in special education settings as well as in the general education setting. This item is made to be outdoors, so it would be perfect to withstand all weather.
