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

Please help give our students some sandy, gooey and different sensory activities. Our students enjoy the different sensory elements. Many of our students are sensory-seeking and enjoy creating their own art.

We would like to allow the students in our group to create slime and calm jars.

Our students love to visit our safe space, and would greatly benefit from more sensory activities. We could also use some games.

Our playhouse could use more diverse people so that our students can build inclusivity and positive self-identities. Our kids really enjoy using the house and puppets. Thank you for supporting the youngest learners as many of them are going to school for the very first time.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
