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

This is the first year of school for my pre-k students. They come ready to learn and to have fun. The students at our school must be in a lower income bracket to qualify for Pre-k. Many of their parents are either from Hispanic countries or are first-generation Americans. Each year my 3 and 4-year-old students begin school with weak fine motor skills.

The materials such as play dough, watercolors, dry-erase pens, and golf pencils, have been recommended by occupational therapists to help strengthen young children's fine motor control.

Notebooks and page protectors will be used to practice fine motor skills such as alphabet and numeral strokes. The Kleenex towels will be so useful to help clean up some of our fun watercolors and play dough activities.

These materials will be used to help my students improve their fine motor skills and encourage their individual independence. The students will be having fun while learning at the same time!
