FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Parrilla's classroom raised $458

This project is fully funded

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

Providing students with various fine motor activities, such as creating art images via the use of LEGO sets and with the use of manipulative toys. These activities will help them strengthen their fine motor skills and also creative expression at the same time keeping them engaged in an entertaining activity.

The goal of this project is for each student to participate in creating something beautiful.

Each student will have the opportunity to use their strengths to contribute to completing a project as part of a team and having the opportunity to be proud of the completed project.

The organizers will help build independence and increase organization as students will be in charge of keeping classroom materials accessible and in the correct place for easy access.
