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 project is to help build strength in the littles' fingers. We know finger strength needs to be consistent. We hope to support that consistency with the right tools: theraputty, scissors, water drop crayons and more. All these tools will benefit their grasp.

Little, itsy, bitsy fingers.

. . 1, 2, 3. Students will practice daily in using the tools throughout the year. These tools will help build their strength. The tools use will be taught in smalll group then taken to centers/ stations.

Thank you for helping us support our future writers.

Mrs. Purdy
