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

We recently got a light table and my kids love it. However, we do not have many manipulatives to use with it. 5 year olds love hands on learning, but we lack the materials needed to explore with.

We need cool materials to light up learning!

These materials will help them create, build, and explore on our new light table. They will be lit up as they build skyscrapers, farms, and various shapes. They will also learn about Math through sorting and counting while on the lit up table.

Please help be the light, to light their way.
