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

Children in my classroom have different special needs; having a variety of toys gives them the opportunity to find one that helps them learn while playing.

I am trying to create a safe space for them to sit and relax when they feel overwhelmed; having a comfortable place to sit and some visual toys to identify their emotions will facilitate their learning process; and that is why I picked the wish toys from my cart.

My students are children 3 and 4 years old with a great potential to succeed.
