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

Tricycles offer young children a fun and engaging way to learn and develop essential physical, cognitive, and social skills that are foundational for their future growth and learning.

The goal for this project is to help our young students develop gross motor skills, coordination, balance, and spatial awareness.

Learning to ride a tricycle will teach them a sense of independence and mastery over their environment. It also provides opportunities for cooperative play, turn-taking, and sharing, fostering social skills and peer interactions.

Located in the southern rural area of San Antonio, MECC caters to a diverse population of PK and Kindergarten students, with a notable proportion coded as at-risk.
