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

Kindergarten is a monumental year that introduces students to learning. By creating fun learning activities, students will enjoy their learning and coming to school. This excitement for school will continue throughout their education.

Sensory bins provide an opportunity for students to engage in learning that is fun and interesting!

I would love to incorporate sensory bins that allow students to explore what we are learning and interact with various materials. Sensory bins allow kindergarten students to further develop their fine and gross motor skills.

Thank you so much for your consideration and support!
