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

All nine of our preschool students have different interests and needs that can be further supported with fun supplemental materials. They explore the classroom environment with so much curiosity, making every day a road of possibilities.

The Gonge Rock Around will allow students to work on their balance and coordination skills while practicing turn-taking.

It will be an addition to our weekly indoor obstacle course that includes a trampoline, tunnel, and balance beam. The A-Z pegboard set will support letter knowledge and fine motor skills. While some students can easily place the pegs, others are working on independently pulling out the pegs. The Easy to Grip Giant Shapes Stamps will also make it easier for students to focus and be engaged rather than struggling to manipulate them in their hands. The Giant Emotions Stamp Set will be used to support their understanding of basic emotions. Many of them are learning how to label their feelings, and by pairing the emotions stamps along with social stories and our daily morning check-ins, they can look forward to communicating how they feel.
