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
In my preschool classroom, I strive to create an environment where every child feels supported and engaged. The materials I’m requesting, including Montessori quiet books, write-on wipe-off activity books, and a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card, will provide calming, hands-on learning opportunities during nap time, free play, and small group sessions.
The Montessori quiet books and activity resources will help my students strengthen fine motor skills, early literacy, and numeracy concepts while fostering independence.
These materials will keep children quietly engaged, respecting peers who are napping or working. The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will allow me to add more reusable, quiet-friendly activities to keep learning fun and productive.
My goal is to provide meaningful, quiet resources that help students learn and grow during downtime. These tools will support cognitive, motor, and social-emotional development while creating a calm and focused environment for all.
My preschoolers are curious, energetic learners who love to explore and create. Each child brings a unique energy to our classroom, and they thrive when given tools that build their confidence and spark their curiosity.
With your support, I can ensure my students have engaging, educational activities that nurture their love of learning while keeping our classroom calm and productive.
