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

Do you have a favorite book that was read to you as a young child? Chances are a lot of us can still recite that unforgettable story line, and maybe, a few of us own that favorite childhood book! Early exposure to books can be an important component of a child's development.

I teach a preschool special education program which serves children between the ages of 3-5 years.

Most of the children at our school qualify for free or reduced price lunch. Our preschool program opened up at our school a year ago. Our classroom was not equipped with appropriate materials for our young preschool students. I have been slowly turning our classroom into a welcoming place for our students. My students are active, enjoy exploring their environment, and enjoy interactive story time.

My Project

I would like to provide my students with a literacy center that is welcoming, comfortable, and fun! My students enjoy lying down and getting comfortable as they look through interesting books. The cube chairs will add to the variety of seating offered at this literacy center. The rug will continuously provide learning opportunities as the children look at the letters, colors, and shapes on the rug. It will also serve as additional seating. The colorful pillows will provide comfort as well as countless learning opportunities as we review colors, shapes and counting. The students will be working on pre-literacy skills as well as math skills! The materials will allow for my students to work on communication skills as well as social skills!

Providing my students with a reading area that is welcoming, fun, and accessible throughout the school day, will make it possible for them to develop a love for books!

This great literacy foundation will later play an important role when they begin to develop additional reading skills, math skills, and social skills.
