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

Having resources such as Dot paint markers, play dough tools and tracing centers will allow my TK scholars to practice their creativity. Puzzles will build their cognitive development and improve problem-solving skills by challenging students to think critically and work through various strategies to find a solution. They will also improve their fine motor skills and spatial awareness.

By providing students with soccer and handball equipment, students improve at running, kicking, and changing direction, which helps develop large muscle groups and coordination.

Playing sports also helps to build social skills and learn to follow directions.

Sensory toys can help children manage their emotions by providing a calming effect, reducing anxiety and frustration. Engaging with sensory toys can help children improve their focus and attention, which is crucial for emotional regulation and managing impulses. Providing these resources for my TK scholars would make their school year educational and memorable.
