Help me give my students kinetic sands, washable dot markers and play foam shape.

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 pre-k friends love playing with kinetic sand, and this play helps to increase their finger power.

Their finger power helps to improve their pencil grip once they start drawing and writing.

The washable dot markers will be used during our art time. Also we will be sharing our art materials with the new TK class in our outdoor area. Finally, who doesn't like play foam to enhance your creativity.

Thank you Donor Choose for everything you have given us to make my classroom a happy, fun and exciting space to learn.
