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

Our school is creating a self-contained class with pre-kindergarten students. We are receiving students from pre-k centers that closed down and to fulfill the students pre-k classroom, it is essential the classroom is seen as best fits. Many of the students will be ELLS and students with multiple disabilities. In the classroom, the materials will be readily available and a focus to cultivate students' learning through engagement and nurture.

In this project, a clock, feeling charts, manipulative toys with mathematics and literature reasoning, matching sets, draw and write dry erase board, kitchen set, and etc will help students learn through artistic expression and deductive reasoning.

Furthermore, students will be able to learn with hands-on activities and on-command materials. The additional materials such as disinfecting wipes, file folders, washable markers, oil pastels, pencil sharpener, planner, pencils, and etc will keep the classroom stocked with materials that are used on a day to day basis. Since students will be coming from different schools, it is important that materials for everyday use are available.

My students are energetic and ready to learn in anyway possible. In addition, the families are involved in their child's learning in which they are happy with the transition.
