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

Pre-K is where we have the opportunity to impact a child's life by beginning to build a foundation and give them an opportunity to grow and develop socially, emotionally, physically, as well as cognitively. That is why I feel honored to be able to take part in the journey of impacting these young life's. My students are second language learners that come from low socioeconomic families. Some are the sons and daughters of illegal immigrants. However, all these adversities do not obscure their enthusiasm and love for learning.

Full of curiosity energy, excitement, and creativity, my students brighten my day.

These children are ready to learn. They develop communication skills and how to play cooperatively, trying on different roles and exploring real life situations interacting with other students and teachers. We work on problem solving skills to help them develop critical thinking strategies. They are little sponges ready to soak in information. They are the future of our world.

My Project

Science, in the early childhood years allows students to develop their observation, exploration, and critical thinking abilities.By incorporating these materials in the science working station, I hope to will instill in my students and appreciation and a love for all living thing. With provided support, and the use of these materials, my students will acquire essential life-skills such as problem-solving, communication and research.

Curiosity, Critical Thinking and Experiments are key to active learning.

These skills will help my students make real-world connections that will in return make an impact in their lives.

It will also enhance and prepare them to form opinions and develop decision -making skills.
