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 Students

My students live in a high poverty, urban area. They go to a community school where every child receives free breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Many of our students live in public housing, with relatives, or are homeless. Many of my students are second language learners. Many of the children do not have their needs met at home. This is often due to lack of finances, long work days, and everyday stress.

My students are excited to come to school and crave the routine of our school day.

One of the main focuses of our school is to integrate the arts into learning.

My Project

My students need developmentally appropriate, hands-on materials to practice letters and sounds. Preschoolers learn best through play. My students will be able to use small rockets to match upper and lowercase letters and find a keyword that starts with each letter of the alphabet. They will be able to play interactive learning games such as Alphabet Bingo and Letter Sounds Bingo.

Children won't even realize they are working hard and learning, because they will be having so much fun!

As they use letter dough stamps, children will be able to name letters, practice their name, and write small familiar words.
