Celebrating 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 materials will teach the TK students to hold their pencils or crayons correctly, an early writing skill that students need to develop at an early age.
Social-emotional learning materials are essential in the classroom, and variety is welcome.
Having a calming corner with different calming tools is very helpful so students learn to control their emotions at an early age.
Using fidgets or tools on desks helps students to focus while sitting at a table and working. These materials will help us out a great deal.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
