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

As the end of the year approaches,

I am looking for new activities that will assist in my students learning, fun ways to express themselves emotionally, have sensory output, and organizational tools.

My pre-school classroom would benefit greatly from having tactile and interactive ways to express themselves with the help of the "Little Spot" activities, as many of them love that to listen to the Little Spot songs during music time; it would be exciting for them to be able to participate in an activity where they can hold and describe emotions.

I am also requesting sensory toys for my calm down area, these calm down toys would help my students regulate their emotions alongside with the Little Spot activities. Finally, organization is very important and the organization cart would be an a great addition to keep these items in a safe but available way that my 3-4 year old students can have access to when needed. Thank you so much for reading! Please donate or share if possible, I and my students would greatly appreciate it.
