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

Thank you for taking the time to read about my project. My students are in need of hands-on materials that help promote learning the alphabet and numbers. Learning important concepts along with practicing fine motor skills is extremely important in our preschool special education classroom.

My students are in need of engaging materials that support their learning in literacy, mathematics, and fine motor skills.

Having hands-on materials for students to be able to use on a daily basis during small groups or free choice will truly make a great impact!
