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

Help us fight the heat when our students want to play outside. We have many days that are uncomfortably hot, and the children want to be outdoors. What a difference a water table would make.

Our children are mainly Hispanic and do not have the privilege of owning homes with pools or being able to travel to the beach.

The majority of children have never seen the ocean. Their parents are hard working and want the best for them. Our school is in a poverty area with many students on free lunches or reduced prices. Our English Language Learners population is increasing every year. We are having to increase academic intervention and English as a Second Language program. Our school tries to do as much as possible for each student with our limited funds and personnel.

My Project

Our weather in California is warm or hot. My students are Pre-kindergarten and always want to be outdoors, even if it is 90 to 100 degrees. It is very relaxing for them to play with water and it cools them down enough to be able to be outdoors for a longer period of time. We use the time at the water tables to use different types of containers to measure the amount of water each one holds. The children have a few toys to use, such as a water wheel and they are able to see that water is very strong and can make things move rather quickly. They use their imaginations as they pour water into cups and pretend they are drinking tea or juice also plan to introduce sea animals at the table and increase their knowledge of sea life.

Water is very soothing, and I plan to use the water table as a stress release for children that are very stressed when they have to be separated from their parents.

The water table calms down children. Children develop more language during water table time. We share a play yard with a special education Pre-kindergarten and we will encourage these children to share the table with us.
