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

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional options to make more effective learning choices in our learning centers. These will be extremely beneficial for all students to enhance their creativity and their imaginations as they learn while they play. In addition, all the items chosen will help my students with their vocabulary and expressive language as they work with their peers.

Positive interactions among my students significantly affect their work and demeanor in class.

Working together building and creating will help facilitate these positive interactions and will encourage a warm and cheerful classroom environment. My students will be able to build communities in the block area, use a microscope and other manipulatives in the math and science area. Our most popular area is the dramatic play and my students enjoy role playing and learning with the counting cans and the other toys.

My students are the best and they deserve to have updated materials in their classroom that will help them as they continue to learn and grow in our classroom.
