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

I teach the most adorable 3, 4, and 5 year old special education preschool students. My students are happy, smart, and incredibly inspiring. The materials I am requesting are books and educational toys.

Students learn best through play and the toys/activities I am requesting will help foster not only creativity, but important social emotional skills such as sharing, taking turns, and waiting patiently.

In addition, through play, my students will learn how to interact with peers appropriately. I am also requesting winter board books to help grow my collection of books. My students love board books, especially books where they can touch/feel and interact with the pages.
