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 dramatic play area is screaming for help!! Please help me give my students the following resources for their learning environment. Many of our children will only experience an atmosphere with a stove, refrigerator, sink, washer and dryer set, and baby stroller in our dramatic play area at school. We want our children to explore by using their imagination, problem-solving, and cooperative learning skills. We want the children to feel an excitement when they arrive at school and that is why we are choosing vibrant colors to add a hint of sparkle to their play.

These materials will allow my students to learn and practice real-life experiences through play.

According to Curtis & Carter (An Everyday Story) “ Whenever children say, “Let’s pretend” a new landscape of possibilities for learning is revealed. When children pretend, they try on new feelings, roles and ideas. They stretch their minds along with their imaginations.” There is nothing better than all children having the opportunity to experience a fun filled pretend with a friendly child-centered area.
