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

When I left the school building on March 2020, I never thought that was the last time I would physically interact with my preschoolers. However, the students learning process did not stop there! We learned and established a remote learning system successfully.

It has been a challenging and interesting journey where we all have learned new things!

My students are creative and full of energy. They enjoy hands-on activities. Most of them come from low income houses where parents can not afford to buy them school supplies.

My Project

During the coronavirus pandemic, students learning had happened virtually. Most of my preschoolers did not have enough learning resources at home.

With continued distance learning into the Fall 2020 and beyond, I would like to provide my students with a variety of school supplies.

For example, I would like all students in my class to have access to art, reading, writing, math and science materials so they can continue enhancing their learning at home through hands-on learning activities and stem projects.

I strongly believe that every student is unique and each has his/her own way to learn. Using hands on learning will provide students opportunity to use their creativity while having fun as they practice their academic skills.
