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

Learning at a young age is done primarily through play. Our center time is when we see most growth with our students socially and academically. Please help us add to our favorite centers so that we can continue to support our highest need learners, both on IEPs and general education students. At this age, students were born during covid and missed out on some of the key social and play skills.

Dramatic play and block area are two beloved centers in my classroom!

Help me improve these areas and give students a chance to express themselves through pretend play with dress-up clothes, baby carriers, and different blocks! Some of my students' loudest complaints last year were that we needed real people for our doll house and we didn't have anything to take the babies on a walk! Students will be able to explore 'rea life' pretend play using the stroller and baby dolls in dramatic play. In block area, students will be able to build and explore using magnetic blocks, cars, and creating large areas to play, learn, and share using the dollhouse materials.
