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

The quality of conversation with children in between the ages of 0 and 3 is correlated to the child's language skills, IQ, and verbal comprehension at 9-14 years old. Opportunities for interactive talk could have lasting benefits for children. During these early years, experiences shape a child’s development. In particular, the way that adult caregivers respond to a child shapes the child’s brain architecture.

By teaching caregivers about the importance of interactive talk and equipping them with tools, strategies, and opportunities to increase conversations, we aim to have a positive impact on the existing achievement gaps.

We support children develop their first language of Spanish with hopes that families experience the exponential benefits on their social emotional and academic development.

My Project

More than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, we understand challenge of engaging children in fun learning experiences. The Make-n-Take bags created will have materials for several experiments and crafts to do at home.

Families will receive a bag full of opportunities to engage in rich conversation while cutting, mixing, sewing, and painting.

Families and children will also be provided with printed instructions as well as links to live and/or recorded videos of instructions.

Additionally, families will also be provided with a book to encourage reading regularly with children. All activities will be supported with talking tips for parents to further language development. The Make-n-Take bags will deliver engagement, learning, and most of all FUN!
