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

The Life Skills students have special learning needs. They need extra practice in performing tasks that enhance fine and gross motor skills. This year, we are asking for new wooden puzzles. Wooden puzzles will are durable and will last a long time.

Through using puzzles, our students will exercise cognitive reasoning and develop hand - eye coordination.

Our students will increase spatial reasoning skills and develop fine motors abilities at the same time. Our students need lots of hands on activities and colorful, eye catching games. Thank you in advance.
