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

My students are so special to me. They are preschool students who thoroughly enjoy school. They love to learn new and exciting things. In this donor's choose project, I am highlighting the needs that they are showing me, where they need growth.

This project will highlight the learning of their five senses, which will help them discover the alphabet containers, sensory pads that they will use to develop their gross motor skills, and mystery canisters that will emphasize the use of their five senses.

Included in this project are spheres that can be used with water, tubes that produce a gentle noise as they trickle down, and textured sensory sand that can be paired with textured spheres.

I hope and delight that, with your generous support, you will be able to provide my preschool students with opportunities to grow and learn in our post-COVID classrooms.
