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

“ Children learn as they play. Most importantly in play, children learn how to learn.”- Fred Donaldson

As an TK educator, I would love to provide my new TK students with gifts in the areas Math and Sensory Play to help enrich their classroom learning environment!

Sensory play is crucial for developing early math skills. By engaging multiple senses, my students will be able to explore mathematical concepts like counting, sorting, pattern and number recognition, building and construction and measuring in a fun and hands-on way. Sensory Play supports math development in the areas of concrete understanding, enhanced engagement, multi-sensory learning, real-world connections, and helps set a foundation for future learning!
