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

It is more engaging to use markers and playdough to begin to strengthen the fine motor muscles required in the writing process.

This thick markers will be used during writing and math time.

We will use this markers during phonics time. The children love having a variety of writing tools to use for the classroom work.

We have a diverse student population. In order to allow representation of all of our students, we need multicultural markers for all skin tones.

The playdough will be a fun way for kindergarten students to trace alphabet letters and numbers and represent them in a fun way with art materials.

Thank you for supporting our school.
