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 am trying to ensure a supportive environment for special education students. The requested fine motor tools, such as markers and paint kits, will enhance the learning experience for these students. Each child is so different, which makes them each unique and enjoyable to work with! Together we can collectively contribute to a more enriching education for every child.

Markers, paint kits, scissors, puzzles and fine motor toys will help students enhance their creative expression and strengthen the skills needed for success in the classroom and school environment.

I love that my students and I can have fun together while embracing our differences! I aim to Create an inclusive educational environment by ensuring that all students, including those with diverse learning needs, have the tools necessary for their educational growth.
