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

I am reaching out to request your support for a project that will truly make a difference in my students' learning experiences. As an educator, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible impact that hands-on activities can have on young minds. This is why I am eager to introduce play dough into our classroom.

Play dough is not just a fun activity; it is a powerful educational tool.

Through molding, shaping, and creating with play dough, my students will develop crucial fine motor skills. Additionally, it encourages imaginative thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration as they work together on projects. The sensory experience of play dough also supports students with diverse learning needs, providing a tactile way to explore concepts.

By having access to play dough, my students will have a dynamic and engaging way to learn and express themselves. Your contribution to this project will directly impact their educational journey, fostering creativity, teamwork, and a love for learning.

Thank you for considering supporting this project and helping to create an enriching learning environment for these bright young minds.

Warm regards,

Ms. Francis
