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

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement through facilitated learning through play.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.

Scholars learn more easily through play, using these manipulatives will increase their attention and maintain their interest. These items will be used during centers where scholars will learn through peer to peer interactions.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
