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

The students in my classroom come from a variety of economic and cultural backgrounds. My students are on the autism spectrum and each face their own challenges, however, they each have their own strengths and abilities! My students are 3 and 4 years old and for many, this is their first school experience! They have to cope with separation anxiety, learn the routine of school and the structure of the day. They require visual supports to get them through their school day.

My students are creative, enthusiastic, and strong!

They love to move, listen to stories, sing songs, and love lots of positive attention! We learn during small and large group time. We also have a great deal of individual one on one learning! I focus on each child's individual potential each day. They are all so different and unique!

My Project

Having different animal sets in the classroom will help support each child's development. Learning through play is vital into young children's development. My student's have special needs and imaginary play does not come naturally to them. They need hands on materials to learn. My project consists of four different animal sets (ocean, wild, farm, and dinosaurs).

Not only will these animal sets encourage and reinforce imaginative play, they will reinforce learning about different animal families.

During the school year, we work on where we live and also where animals live. This will reinforce our NYC standards and curriculum unit!
