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 classroom is a busy place filled with active special education students. My kids learn best with hands on toys and games to learn the goals that are specific to each of them. I am requesting new games to help build their social skills as well as different types of kinetic sand to help them explore their imagination.

Special education students learn through play in my classroom by using social cues and skills and by using their imagination.

For this project I am asking for support in purchasing these assorted games as well as kinetic sand for my kids to expand their learning and making my classroom a more engaging place to learn.
