Oh, The Learning That Will Grow!

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

I aim to use manipulates and games to develop academic, social, and emotional skills for my young scholars. Children will learn to share, solve social problems, express and manage feelings, and develop early learning skills for success in school and life.

Early childhood programs provide the foundation to help children develop a strong understanding of how to learn and behave in social settings and to nurture their unique needs, strengths, and abilities. In addition, we are building connections.

 Children connect with their classmates and teachers through conversations at breakfast, read-aloud, and choice time.

Together, we will learn through play by spending time in centers, like the math center, toys and games, library, and discovery center, where we make choices and ask questions. Your generous contribution to my 3-k classroom will help create a classroom environment that enhances my young scholars' social, emotional, and physical well-being. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for aiding our classroom with much-needed center supplies.
