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 plan to use the items for this project to enhance dramatic play. We will use the toys to promote multicultural diversity with pretend food, books and chopsticks through play. Students need to see toys that they can identify with so they can feel included in our classroom.

We will have a calming corner for students to self-regulate by laying down in the tent next to the night scene with the help of a night scene camping background.

With the help of the name tags and the lanyards, we can use them when we visit the local library in our community and on other field trips and our different classes like garden, dance and art. We will use the dress-up vest when learning about the different community jobs in our Social Studies unit.
