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

The specific items I am requesting will significantly enhance my students' learning experiences by providing them with hands-on, interactive tools to explore important concepts in creative ways. The Lakeshore Help-Yourself Dress-Up Center will foster independent learning, helping students develop fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities as they explore different costumes and roles. The Kaplan Early Learning Weather Bear Set will introduce weather concepts through engaging, tactile play, enabling students to build their vocabulary and scientific understanding. Additionally, the Kaplan Early Learning Pretend Play Dress-Up Trunk will encourage imaginative play, allowing students to practice social interaction, emotional development, and creativity as they engage with a variety of costumes and characters.

My students are unique because of their diverse learning styles and natural curiosity.

They thrive in an environment that stimulates both their imagination and intellectual growth. Many students have a strong inclination towards creative play, allowing them to express themselves and solve problems innovatively. I aim to nurture their love for learning by providing them with these resources while supporting their social, emotional, and cognitive development. These materials will offer them the opportunity to explore, collaborate, and grow in ways that are both educational and fun.
