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

What I love most about my students is their natural curiosity, creativity, and excitement for learning. Every day, they come into the classroom ready to explore, ask questions, and try new things. They see the world with wonder, and it inspires me to give them the best learning experiences possible. This is why a light table would be a great addition to our classroom.

A light table will help my students learn in hands-on, engaging ways.

It will support their development in key areas like literacy, writing, math, science, art, creativity, sensory play, focus and it is especially helpful for students who benefit from calming, visual input.
