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

The goal of this project is to help students build their creative imagination and know that the skies the limit with endless possibilities when they are playing with their peers.

Dramatic play will help students develop a variety of skills, including language, social, and motor skills.

It will also help them learn about cause and effect, and develop a sense of independence and responsibility. My students will develop fine and gross motor skills through stirring, pouring, kneading, and cleaning up and they will learn how to use utensils like spoons and spatulas, all while building friendships with their peers.

My students are special because they come to school with a willingness to learn and explore during play time.
