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

Our classroom serves 4 and 5 year old students. I would like to provide more sensory materials for our classroom.

Help me provide materials for their sensory bin and blankets to use in their dramatic play area.

I want to provide materials for their sensory needs. Our students love to use our two classroom blankets as capes, blankets, beds, forts, as well as covering themselves with a good book. This will help give them blankets to use in the classroom.

They also love to use the sensory box and they have been enjoying the fall theme. I would love to adjust it so that they can experience a winter wonderland.
