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

My students need hands-on toys/manipulatives to help them focus, transition, and motivate them to work and play. I have created this project so we can have various manipulatives in the classroom. Many of my students do not have basic toys/ manipulatives at home due to many economic factors. With these manipulatives, they will be able to work on their cognitive, math, social, language, and physical development. We will be exposing them to an endless amount of ways to learn through play. These tools will provide them with a meaningful learning experience in the classroom.
