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

We strive to provide a welcoming environment where children feel seen, heard, and cared for. Our students are bright, imaginative, and learn best when provided with hands on learning.

Role playing with baby dolls in open ended dramatic play will allow our students to develop skills such as communication, conflict resolution, and cooperative work with their peers.

Caring for the dolls they can act out many different situations which will reinforce the concepts of self awareness, relationship building, and responsible decision making. These dolls are multicultural allowing the students to feel represented and promotes diversity in our classroom environment.

This project will help our students build crucial skills that they will carry with them throughout their lives. By focusing on SEL through the use of dolls we will not only be preparing students through success in school but also by helping them be compassionate and inclusive members of society. Please help us provide these classroom tools to our students.
