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

In my Pre-K Title I classroom, we strive to create an inclusive and engaging environment for all of our young learners.

Sensory play is a vital part of early childhood development, as it helps children explore and understand the world around them through touch, sight, sound, and movement.

It also supports their cognitive, motor, and social skills, all of which are essential in these formative years.

To enhance the sensory experiences in our classroom, we are in need of a few materials that can enrich playtime and learning. These materials include items such as a sensory table, textured toys, sensory bins, tactile materials (like clay, playdough, or fabric), and other hands-on resources that encourage creativity, exploration, and problem-solving.

If you are able to donate any of these items, or if you know of any resources that could benefit our students, we would be incredibly grateful for your support. Your generosity will help provide a nurturing environment that promotes growth and discovery for our young learners.
