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 preschool special education students are bright, curious, and eager to learn! They thrive on hands-on, interactive learning. To support their early academic growth, I am seeking materials to create durable, engaging file folder activities that target foundational skills such as matching, sorting, counting, letter recognition, shapes, and colors. These individualized, structured activities will help my students build independence, fine motor skills, and critical pre-academic concepts in a fun, accessible way. I am also requesting supplies to create visual supports that aid communication, routines, and behavior—key tools for helping young learners with disabilities understand expectations and stay engaged throughout the day.
