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

Help me give my combo class, students with special needs and gen ed students an opportunity to practice developmentally appropriate play based activities.

Getting this project funded will help my students explore different learning styles that are developmentally appropriate for them.

Floor puzzle, wooden cars, sensory fidgets, tactile books, will help my little energetic preschoolers with being creative but it will also help them be interact with peers in addition to share taking and conflict negotiation. Sensory materials will provide my students with coping methods and practice strategies to teach them how to express their emotions. Lastly, majority of my students do not have access to these materials at home.
