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

In Kindergarten we are constantly finding unique and various ways for students to build fine motor muscles while they begin their formal educational journey. These tools allow students to apply this work in low-pressure, engaging, and in various ways to encourage motivation among all types of learners.

When students come to Kindergarten they should be given the chance to practice building skills in playful ways.

Play is essential in early childhood and supports motivation among reluctant learners too!

I would like to support the opportunity to stretch the types of fine motor activities I have with these tools.
