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 love using hands-on materials to problem solve and learn skills essential to their development. They are always asking to go into the "centers and free-time cabinet" and gravitate towards puzzles and building blocks. We use hands-on materials for math and phonics and just about anything.

Hands-on learning teaches students to think outside the box and utilize problem-solving skills and critical thinking skills.

With your donation, I will be able to stock our cabinets with many exciting and educational resources for them to explore. I thank you in advance for your help!
