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 items I’m requesting will help support my dramatic play center and give students updated and new materials to encourage play and help students learn critical skills like sharing, taking turns, and playing appropriately, and it will also support them in building friendship skills. I’m also requesting white boards and easel stands to help support my small groups and giving my students more diverse ways to learn new vocabulary, to encourage emergent writing skills, and to increase dual language literacy skills! I requested sensory bins and sensory supports to help my students with their specific needs as well as strengthen their fine motor skills. Thank you for making a huge difference in my students’ learning!
