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

I’m really excited to gather some toys, games, and realia for our content-aligned choice time! These items will make a big difference in my students' learning by allowing them to dive into hands-on activities that spark their curiosity. For example, the educational games will help reinforce important skills in math and reading, while realia related to our science and social studies lessons will connect what we learn in class to the real world. Plus, as they engage in play, they’ll naturally develop their oral language skills by chatting and collaborating with each other, which adds an extra layer of growth to their experiences!

My goal for this project is to create a lively and dynamic learning environment where my students can explore and play during choice time.

I want them to feel empowered to take charge of their own learning, which is so important for building their confidence and creativity. Moreover, playtime is crucial for developing their social-emotional skills, as they learn to navigate friendships, resolve conflicts, and express their feelings in a safe environment. What makes my students special is their enthusiasm and the diverse backgrounds they all come from, bringing their unique experiences to our classroom. By giving them these exciting resources, I hope to inspire a love for learning that lasts a lifetime and helps them grow both academically and socially!
