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

Counting is important for young children to learn as the meaning attached to counting is a building block for many early concepts. Rote counting is great at introducing numbers but it is not enough.

Preschoolers learn best when counting skills are used in a variety of meaningful situations.

For a young child, this is experienced through play. Having different ways to access numbers and counting help students make connections to their everyday lives. Counting helps students learn about number words connected to quantity, conservation of quantity, and cardinality. These skills will then help students learn how to add and subtract which are essential skills for learning later math concepts.

The number puzzles, train floor puzzle, stamps, and magnets will introduce students to numbers during our free choice indoor play time. The fruit and vegetable cut ups will be a great addition to our dramatic play area as students will be able to count how many pieces one food item can be cut into. The bean bags and number shells will be used during our outdoor play to further extend counting and number recognition. All items from this project will be used in different centers to expose students to numbers and quantity throughout our day.
