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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My special needs students are in an inclusive classroom with general ed. They range in age from 3-5 and they learn through play. This puppet theater will help to foster their imagination and ignite their passion for the performing arts, all while teaching them social skills, conflict resolution, story retelling and more!

My students are my superheroes; most come from low income households, and so I strive to give them the same opportunities that students in more affluent areas have.

The puppet stand will help house the classroom puppets while the cupboard will help to keep my students items organized.
