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 special in every way! I am always looking for fun hands-on lessons to help them grow. Fine motor skills and cognitive development are both so important for a young learner's knowledge and growth. In Pre-K, children are learning a variety of skills; questioning, spatial relationships, problem-solving, imitation, memory, letters and letter sounds, number sense, classification, and more.

Your generous donation will help my students for years to come!

These supplies will provide opportunities to create a classroom that can engage any type of learner. We are all so excited!
