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 young preschool students are just beginning to develop their drawing and writing skills. The materials I've requested for this project will help develop these skills while engaging their curiosity and creativity. They will also provide students opportunities to use their fine motor skills. With this project I hope to stock my writing center with materials that students will enjoy and use daily.

These materials will give my students the WRITE stuff to explore their creativity as they learn how to use writing and drawing as a form of expression.

With your generous donation you will provide a variety of writing and drawing materials that will benefit their growing imaginations and budding writing skills.
