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

Hello Everyone, I'm a Librarian Professional who works with amazing Children at my school. I see about 700 children who are excited to read and explore new books everyday. We now have a pre-k room who are early new readers. They love listening to new stories and engaging with fun activities. I want to try a new tool with Legos as a early visual of interactions with books. I want to be able to give our young students opportunities to explore books with expressing on feeling and interaction among peers. I feel this will build great character and express conversation one -on -one teacher with students. I can also replay the stories through manipulate play. Every child learns individually different, so I would like to give many different opportunities.

When reading books on emotions, I want to be able to give the visual on how to problem solve problems or issues facing in those type of books.
