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

Imagination, intrigue and wonderment leads to learning! The light table will be used for math, literacy, and science, the purpose is to promote higher level thinking and problem-solving skills. The light table helps with visual discrimination. They will take part in academic investigations while using their senses, developing reasoning skills, and building cognitive awareness.

My goal is to enhance Nevada’s young learners in language development, writing skills, fine motor development, pattern and color recognition, creative thinking, problem-solving skills, spatial awareness, building and much much more through the use of this table.

Last but not least, imagine their eyes when they see the light table as an avenue of learning. They will desire to participate, engage and grow through this new and amazing table!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
