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

I want my students to have the opportunity to work with real materials, real pictures that represent animals, wood, and rocks instead of plastic substitutes. As a teacher, I strive to build reality of life through experience for each of my students that may only get the opportunity at school.

By enaging in real activities with a purposeful meaning, my students will florish academically as well social emotionally.

Purposful play fosters independance and developes the "whole child".

Each material will help complete the areas of Montessori learning that is lacking in my classroom : Language, Cultural and Sensorial
