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

My students will be some very active 4 year-olds that will be attending Pre-K for the first time. The majority of them come from low-income homes, which sometimes translates into kids not having many meaningful experiences outside their homes.

Even though kids today are very tech savvy, they still don't have the necessary skills to flourish in a distance learning environment, which depends almost entirely of technology and long distance interactions with the teacher.

Nevertheless, their young, curious minds need a lot of stimulation and engagement so that they can grow, learn and develop all the necessary skills for success at school and in life.

My Project

Pre-K students thrive during their learning stations time. Kids get to socialize, have meaningful interactions and practice the skills learned during whole group instruction. These kits that I will be making will have the materials to set up basic learning stations at home so that they can replicate, in some way, the activities that we would be doing at school. There is no way my babies will be left behind with a combination of online learning and tools at home to learn, play and grow. I am really hoping we can make this a reality, this pandemic will not slow us down.
