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 are eager to learn. They come to school excited to learn every day. The use of technology has kept students inside. Help me get my students outside to learn and play.

Sensory play has an important role in our students' development.

Not only does it help our students engage their five senses—sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste—but it also boosts their language skills and motor skills.

Sensory play also promotes exploration, creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving. With your help, I would like to provide my early childhood students an opportunity to learn during outdoor play in the sand and water tables.
