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

My students come from a variety of diverse backgrounds and have a wide range of needs that are met daily in my special needs preschool classroom. My students are happy, fun, and love coming to school each day.

My students love everything and anything that has to do with magnets!

I am requesting a variety of magnetic activities that can be used during our center play time. Magnets are a great way to use fine motor skills and to incorporate STEM into our science centers. These activities would last many years and would benefit classes for years to come!
