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 have a Pre-K that is child-centered. Children play all day and our classroom is broken into many centers. One center is dedicated to sensory play. It includes themed sand trays, play dough, and dough tools. We also have a sensory table. I appreciate having replacement sand and more items to add to our sensory area this upcoming school year. Thanks so much for enhancing our learning experiences by providing items that help us explore, problem solve, and build fine motor skills while having fun. You make our experience far more fulfilling and educational with your generosity!
