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

I have students from different grade levels since I am the xPlore Site Coordinator for my school. The grades we teach is Pre-K to 6th grade.

I love that my students are unique and they love to learn different things every day.

Some of my students are SPED so these learning activities and sensory games will help them reduce anxiety and increase their creativity too.

These items will help them increase their cognitive, motor and developmental skills is so many different ways. Each of them learn on a different pace.

Thank you so much for you help!!
