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 our TK classroom, my students love to explore, use their imagination, and interact with one another. The light table and accessories will engage them with sensory activities that promote imaginative play, social interactions, and countless ways to practice their counting, sorting, and storytelling. As they engage in this activity they will use and practice language skills to create and experiment, as well as use their fine motor skills to grasp and manipulate the pieces. These 5-year-olds are very inquisitive and love to learn new things and explore new materials.
