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

These students are in a low-income area school, and we are focusing on building relationships and fine motor skills with creativity!

My goal is to give my students a variety of things to use to increase fine motor skills while building relationships with their peers!

We use the STEM materials, like magnet blocks and Legos to daily to start our mornings to wake our brains before a big day of learning!

My students and I will be grateful for anything donated to our classroom! My students are special because they do not always have these resources at home to be able to build these skills and school is the best place to do it!
