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 student are sensory seekers. They enjoy exploring with their senses throughout the school day. A Lakeshore Preschool Sand and Water Table would allow me to give them the opportunity to explore their senses using a variety of sensory materials inside the table. My goal is to rotate seasonal sensory activities that also are related to the current study in our curriculum.

My students are curious learners that would benefit from a Lakeshore Preschool Sand and Water Table that we can use both inside and outside of the classroom.

The rolling wheels allows for flexibility of using it in different locations. I am excited to be able to provide fulfilling sensory experiences to my students with your support!
