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

For most of my TK students, this is their first experience setting foot in a classroom!

Providing my four year-olds the experience to participate in dramatic play will give them the opportunity to expose them to so many skills they will continue to use as they become life long learners.

My students practice turn taking, increasing their vocabulary, turn taking skills, as well as learning how to coexist with 22 other students daily. Having this dramatic play area in my classroom would provide daily opportunities to express themselves as well as develop this social skills. We need a Toddler Dress-Up Center and Lakeshore Career Costume Set.
