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

My school is very diverse in that we have many English language learners which make up almost half the population of our school. Also, we are an all-kindergarten school made up of approximately five hundred 5 and 6-year-olds. That's a lot of little bodies that can be influenced in a positive way.

I teach eighteen enthusiastic, eager, and energetic kindergartners at a Title I school.

Our school is in a very low socioeconomic community. Because we are in a high-poverty community, all students at our school receive free breakfast and lunch through the community eligibility program. Most of my students have not had the opportunity to attend pre-k or had significant learning experiences in their homes.

My Project

Each day we have a designated playtime where students can just be kids and play. The wonderful thing is, is that children do not realize how much they are learning by simply playing.

Playing with blocks and puzzles every day allows students the opportunity for sharing, taking turns, engaging in conversations with peers and increased vocabulary.

I hope to be able to share wonderful learning experiences through the excitement and joy of playing daily. But, I cannot provide these materials without the help of amazing people just like you!
