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 Students

At our school we have a wonderful variety of learning styles, nationalities , and personalities. The one thing they all have in common is that they love learning and exploring.

The classroom environment is very important.

A variety of materials are needed for the children to be able to carry out their visions. The Dramatic play center is always a buzz with activity and providing materials and support is the way to inspire our children to problem solve, role play, communicate, and develop the all important social emotional skills they will need as adults.

My Project

My students are learning through play in pre-k. It is very important for each child to have the materials they need to carry out their plan.Having materials and choice makes for optimal learning through play.

Organization is also essential in children's play.

If the dramatic play area is unappealing and messy children will not be able to have productive play. Staging the dramatic play area helps children organize their play.

When the dramatic play area is old and limited they will not get the experience they need. It can also be unsafe when furniture is deteriorated. Children need a variety of materials, for example: If we do not have enough dolls children will not be able to roll play family involvement. If we do not have sufficient medical equipment children cannot pretend to work as a team to save someone's life. Dramatic play allows children to roll play many important skills they will use the rest of their lives. The children also enjoy seeing toys that reflect their personal lives having dolls that reflect the different ethnicities of our school is essential. The new dollhouse will allow for all important micro dramatic play allowing different types of roll playing. The children will even get a chance to roll play pet care. The register will introduce math concepts such as money, basic counting, and addition and subtraction. We also need to replace things that are broken such as out sink and puppet stand.We also are replacing old food which has faded and cracked. In conclusion a crisp house area will give inspiration to create play.
