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

Working in my small sub separate classroom I have learned a lot about what my students need in order to have a successful school year. This year I personally crafted a bunch of sensory bins for my students for them to use during recess or for them to have a break. I am looking to make some newer bins for the end of this school year.

I would love to add letters and numbers along with animals to my students sensory bins so that they can practice their expressive vocabulary.

The playdoh letter and number stampers are being added so that my students can practice spelling, or stamping out letters and numbers in the correct sequence. We also use a lot of playdoh through out the school year and it would be lovely to be full stocked with a bunch of bright colors that my students will enjoy.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
