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

My students are Pre-K students in a Title I-funded school in the Bronx. Many of them speak a language other than English and I try to use their language knowledge to build a community of diverse learners. Pre-K is their first introduction to the world of school and I love to show them all it has to offer!

Center time is an important part of our Pre-K classroom daily schedule.

During center time students are given the opportunity to explore a variety of areas including the math, discovery, and dramatic play centers. In my project cart you will find toys and materials that will be used during the Creative Curriculum “Buildings” study. They include materials to create a grocery store as our dramatic play center (e.g., shopping cart), as well as blocks to build homes (e.g., Lincoln Logs).

Thank you in advance for helping me provide a world of imagination and possibility to my students!
