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 will be having an Explore classroom that has a mix of general education and special education students.

Giving the students the opportunity to learn through play will be very beneficial for them because they will be practicing real life scenarios.

I have requested material for my dramatic play area such as food which could be used in multiple ways such as a theme for home, restaurants, grocery store. As well as a camping theme that will let my friends experience what they could do if they did go out to camp and a hair styling theme. People go get a hair cut and my materials will allow my friends experience what a barber does.
