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

Pre-k is where children begin to develop feelings, perceptions, and ideas about school. I teach approximately 20 preschool students in a low-income community. My goal is to give my students every opportunity to succeed by providing them with the materials they need to learn and grow.

My students make me smile every day and give me the inspiration to do my best in the classroom.

I love how they are eager to learn and seem to have boundless energy. My students really love hands-on materials and activities. They love listening to music. They also really love dancing along with the songs.

My Project

Pre-K students learn through play and with these materials, they will be able to learn how to socialize and play together during center time. They will also learn about various careers in our community and will be able to dramatize these careers through the dramatic play center and will be able to experience and act these careers with their fellow classmates. The students will be able to internalize their learning through hands-on experience. The use of manipulatives is necessary for pre-k to help students develop their fine motor skills but more importantly begin to understand concepts used in math. The math materials will be a fun and engaging way to enhance their learning through play.
