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

Through meaningful play, my students are given the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the learning process throughout the day. Play supports children’s social emotional learning, helps develop communication skills, and allows them to practice math and literacy skills with their peers.

These materials will allow me to expand our class’ engaging centers and project-based learning curriculum.

For example, students will become engineers as they create and build at the Lego or Straws center. They will be able to create different tracks at the marble maze center.

Your contribution, no matter how small, will give our class more opportunities to create meaningful play experiences, which will do so much more than just support their academic and social development. It will make their first grade year one they will never forget!
