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

Fun, fun, fun! Young students learn through play and having fun. Students with special needs learn everyday tasks through role play activities. Having the materials available for these role play opportunities is very important to the learning of young students.

My students are very energetic preschool and kindergarten students who all have special needs.

My students all learn best through hands on activities. My classroom focuses on the developmental abilities of each individual student and builds on those abilities.

My Project

Turning everyday play activities into learning opportunities is key for young students development. In my classroom I use play to foster development. The play kitchen and accessories will provide the materials needed for my students to learn social skills as well as many other appropriate developmental skills. The students will be able to play together, experiment, and try new things. While playing, teachers will supervise the students creating communication, and other educational opportunities for the students. My students will gain social skills, communication skills, vocabulary development, and numerous other skills while playing with the items listed in this project.

The items in this project will assist in making my classroom fun!

The kitchen and accessories will provide needed opportunities for learning and child development. My students love to play, so what better way to teach them than through play.
