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

In my Transitional Kindergarten classroom, early literacy and numeracy are the cornerstones of learning. My young learners are curious, eager, and full of potential, but they need the right tools to thrive. Letter and number manipulatives are powerful resources that make learning tangible and engaging, helping children grasp the basics of reading, writing, and counting through hands-on play. With your support, I can provide my students with magnetic letters, number blocks, and tactile tracing sets, fostering critical fine motor skills and early academic confidence. Your contribution will directly impact the next generation of readers, writers, and problem-solvers. Thank you for helping my students grow!
