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 requesting these items to give my students something to do during recess if they don't wish to play outside. My library is open during morning recess, Monday through Thursday, for kids who may be having a tough day or just wish to visit the library.

These materials will help them learn to sort by shape and color, help them with fine motor skills as well as enhance their creativity.

One of the things the kids like doing most when in the library during recess is drawing! They also really love being able to smell their work with the Mr. Sketch Markers.
