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

Art supplies are in high demand as the children learn how to express themselves individually and creatively. Thanks to your support we can teach them how to color their world and make it a more beautiful place. Young students are learning the letters in their names and their new friends' names by making bracelets with alphabet beads and developing their fine motor abilities at the same time. Let's make learning fun with hands- on activities that are engaging and promotes friendship building. Projects that incorporate letter recognition, math concepts, and social-emotional components are meaningful lessons that yield long-lasting, tangible results.
