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

My students come from low-income/high poverty homes. Due to their social economic levels, they are faced with several challenges. Now, after Hurricane Harvey they must endure many new challenges I hope other children will never have to face. While our elementary school is being cleaned up and repaired from flood damages, our students are being bused more than 30 minutes away from their home school community into a 3 story high school. Despite the many extra challenges my class will face this year because of Hurricane Harvey, I am looking to keep things as normal as possible and provide my students with the most comfortable pre-k classroom possible so that they can enjoy creative and meaningful learning experiences that I will provide for them.

My Project

Learning centers are areas in a classroom that allow students to actively practice skills learned in an engaging manner while promoting academic achievement, as well as emotional, social, and physical development. Pre-K learning centers are filled with manipulatives, art materials, books, and other instructional tools.

Learning centers are an important part of a balanced Pre-K classroom that emphasizes the development of the whole Pre-K child.

I have requested numbers, shapes, and alphabet learning rugs to designate center locations in our classroom. I also asked for various alphabet and counting manipulatives to get the school year started right. I want to make sure my students have the materials they need to have comfortable learning experiences our new school since Hurricane Harvey affected our school.
