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

My students love to be creative and use their hands to express themselves in the art area. Some of our materials have started to dry up or run out and we know the students would love for them to be replenished.

Students can strengthen their fine motor skills while being creative and having fun.

This project has playdough and kinetic sand that the students can use to strengthen their hand muscles. This project also contains chalk that students can use to practice handwriting skills that they will use for their entire educational career.
