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

As we continue to explore innovative teaching methods, I believe that incorporating play-based learning can significantly support our students' learning experiences. This approach not only fosters creativity and critical thinking but also helps students develop social skills in a fun and engaging environment.

Play-based learning is a vital part of early childhood education that helps children learn and explore the world around them in a meaningful and enjoyable way.

Play is a natural way for children to learn and can help them develop many skills, including: social and emotional skills, cognitive skills, language skills, physical skills, problem-solving skills and creativity.

Play-based learning can include free play, or self-directed play, and guided play. In free play, children choose everything themselves and adults supervise and may offer suggestions or materials. In guided play, adults provide ideas and directions for play, and may observe the activities that children like best and use them to start discussions that lead to further learning.
