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 future students will be eager and curious to learn. I would like to provide age appropriate materials to help them develomentally.

Children at this age learn through senses and they learn best hands on and have fun at the same time.

My Project

Playdough play brings many possibilities and supports development and learning in many ways. They can use their imagination and express their ideas through art and make believe play. It also helps children build their vocabulary as they explain what they are doing.

Young children love playing with playdough.

They can roll, squish, scupt, and mold it. I can just imagine my future students seeing the playdough and getting excitied about it. I know that they would want to create things that they know about and share it to the group that will enhace their social skills.
