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 name is Amber, and I teach in a Pre-K, 4 classroom. I love what I do, and love watching children grow and learn new skills. The games, building centers, and STEM toys I have listed help children develop different social skills; like working with peers, and help with all levels of development. With these materials, children will be able to develop cognitive, social, and mathematic skills, literacy skills, and motor skills, all areas important to preschool development. It will allow them to develop and learn with different materials while helping them learn social skills.
