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 love my job because I help families understand the life and development of the young child. I get deep satisfaction knowing that quality early childhood education can help a child develop strong self-esteem, problem-solving skills, and independence . They get to be kids. they get to make friends, they get to play outside, and they get to be creative. They get to learn, they get to gain independence. I know that the students will learn socialization skills with the dramatic play outfits. They will pretend play and be able to vocalize with their peers as they play. The puzzles and Lego games will also help my students with their fine motor skills. The racing track will also help my students with math skills and eye-hand coordination. I can't wait to see my students' faces when I pull out our new dramatic center learning manipulatives.
