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 Students

My students are eager and happy to learn. My pre-k 3 students live in a high-poverty neighborhood but are especially unique because most are bilingual.

My students are excited to be in school for the very first time, and I want to provide an excellent beginning filled with knowledge, fun, and imagination.

Unfortunately, our budget is very limited and I need to be extremely creative with what I order. My students should have every opportunity to be the best they can be.

My Project

Sensory sand is a wonderful manipulative that encourages hand strength and muscle development. This sand helps students learn to work cooperatively. Sensory sand helps develop fine and gross motor skills.

Sensory sand also encourages social emotional learning to take place by allowing the student to practice their social skills and vocabulary.

It also inspires them to be creative and create amazing pieces of art. The sand castle molds will also teach them about a beach habitat. The sand helps with any touch sensory issues and helps soothe some students too.
