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

Water play, sand play, sensory play they all are phenomenal ways to get children learning. Play is a big part of early childhood education. My students would be encouraged to talk, imagine, and learn through each playful experience. giving My students maximum play power is my goal. I am striving to increase vocabulary and help create minds that are willing and ready to move on to the first grade. We will use the water table during center time and indoor recess. We will use the organizer in small group and centers!
