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 5 and 6 years old so a good portion of their lives have been “COVID years”. Despite being at home for a good portion of their lives and many missing out on having a typical preschool experience, their love of learning and being at school has never been a question. Nevertheless, I notice that my students are needing hands on way to learn and express their emotions now more than ever. They are in great need of tactile and sensory output opportunities, and these supplies will provide them with that.
