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

Our students are enrolled in a Pre-K program within a Title 1 Public School located in the South Bronx. They will be learning 100% remotely due to health issues or because their families preferred it during this pandemic.

Our students are smart, loving, creative, curious and energetic individuals, who learn best through play and hands on activities.

My Project

My goal is to create “play baggies” for each student, with materials they can use at home to complete the lesson taught online. This will hopefully help families be less stressed and students will be busy learning through play.

I want my students to be able to have a hands-on learning experience even though they are not physically present in the classroom.

They will work on their fine-motor skills as they use the pencils, markers and dry erase boards to draw. They will also use the soft stacking blocks, modeling compound, links and tweezers to develop the muscle on their hands to get them ready to write. They can use the arts and craft materials such as the popsicle sticks, pom poms, glue, pipe cleaners, construction paper, crayons and watercolors to create pieces of art while learning skills such as color recognition, sorting, cause and effect and developing their fine motor skills. Most importantly these materials will allow our students to explore and create things they feel good about which will increase their self-esteem and confidence. The other materials such as the foam shapes and letters, folders, laminating pouches and touch screen pens will be used for more academic related reasons. The pouches will be used to laminate worksheets and games they can complete, erase and complete again as many times as they want. They folders will hold the work they have completed so that at the end of the school year we can look at the progress made. The touch screen pen will help our students learn how to hold a writing tool correctly as they complete work on their tablets, instead of getting use to using their finger; which does not help but may confuse them when it comes to writing.
