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 students are Kindergarteners at a Title I STEM Academy in the greater Los Angeles area. They are resilient students who come from all walks of life. These students and their families left their community school in order to attend a brand new charter school with the hope that they will only be limited by their creativity! Many of my students are English Language Learners and first generation Americans.

Though they are the tiniest of humans, they are the most curious and creative!

They ask questions about They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects, and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions!

My Project

For some of my students, this is the first time they are setting foot into a classroom due to the pandemic, with that being said, many of my students lack the basic social skills that are needed in kindergarten.

Gifting my students this imaginative play set will provide so much more than play - there are cognitive benefits, fosters independence, promotes social skills, and so much more.

My students will be able to access these materials on a daily basis and continue to develop social skills throughout the school year and for years to come.
