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

Our transitional kindergarten/kindergarten Special Day Class (SDC) is a place where every child's unique needs are met with care and dedication. Our students, who require additional support in their learning journey, would greatly benefit from a variety of fine motor development tools. These tools are essential for improving hand-eye coordination, grip strength, and overall dexterity, skills crucial for their academic and everyday success. The selected tools are all designed to engage and stimulate their motor skills development in a fun and interactive manner.

By incorporating these tools into our daily activities, we can create a supportive learning environment that fosters independence and confidence in our students.

With improved fine motor skills, our young learners will be better equipped to participate actively in classroom tasks, express themselves creatively, and achieve their full potential.
