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 preschool much of what is learned is hands on and creative. We know students learn when they are having fun. Scissor skills are difficult to learn and can be even more difficult and frustrating when you do not have the right scissors. We can make art, creativity and learning easier for our students by having a variety of scissor options.

Everyone should have equal access to art.

Having Spring Assist Scissors, Left-Handed Scissors and Easi-Grip Scissors available will help us to include everyone. We want our students to have fun while being creative and not be frustrated whenever it is time to cut.
