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 are beautiful and unique. They come from a variety of social emotional, speech and language and educational backgrounds. The families I work with require support and guidance in preparing their children for the world.

Kindergarten lays down the foundation for future citizens of our society.

I feel it is my duty to prepare and inspire the children to be lifelong learners regardless of their socioeconomic backgrounds.

Be it social, financial, or emotional struggles, all these young minds deserve to be educated equally with the tools essential to their growth.

Some of my students may have wonderful positive learning experiences in the world while others need to be exposed to language and learning for the first time. Parents and caregivers may not have the financial means to expose their child to the educational skills necessary for learning. It is my passion to be able to make a difference in the life of a child and make it a positive learning environment so they will be confident capable citizens in the world we live in.

My Project

A large part of the kindergarten experience is teaching social and emotional skills.

Through the use of puppets and creative art the children can learn how to express, manage and understand their feelings, while building up class and social community relationships.

Using art materials such as paint and collage the children will grow to understand our similarities as well as our differences through imaginative role play and expression of ideas though puppetry and art experiences. Children enjoy creating and will express themselves when given a medium such as paint and collage to share their ideas and build positive attitudes about themselves and others.
