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

Our four/five-year-olds are curious and are constantly exploring. They are constantly asking questions and want to know about everything. For most of our littles, UTK students, this is their first experience of what school will be like. We want to provide our students with an experience that makes them want to come to school.

A big part of our students' learning is through play, hands-on experiences.

Our dramatic play allows students these kinds of explorations, hence it being one of our favorite centers.

This center not only encourages students to socialize, but also helps them learn to take turns, take risks, academics, vocabulary, creativity, problem solving, experimentation, and social emotional skills. Our dramatic play center is not just about playing, it's a brain builder.
