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

Our preschoolers (ages 3 to 5 years old) have been excited about counting! To celebrate the languages spoken in our classroom, we are learning to count from 1 to 10 in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Tigrinya. We will use egg shakers during circle time to make counting even more engaging through music and movement.

Early exposure to math and science is essential for developing a strong foundation in problem-solving, critical thinking, and curiosity.

The materials listed would support with hands-on activities to develop important skills like counting, sorting and observing patterns. We are using Unifix cubes to explore math concepts and gears to investigate science concepts like cause and effect and motion. We would love to add more open-ended materials to enhance our learning experiences. Thank you!
