Celebrating 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.
"...warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child." -Carl Jung
Our class is a loving, happy group of 4 year-olds with Can-Do attitudes. They are away from Mom for the first time, but they are bravely learning and playing and acclimating to school.
My students are the most adorable little artists and scientists the world has ever known.
At the tender age of four, these innocents learn volumes daily about colors, shapes, letters, numbers and sounds: classification systems used by adults to describe a world that is, to these precious ones, new and wondrous.
We are a bilingual Pre-K class wherein Spanish-dominant and English-dominant students help each other to navigate new material.
My Project
Students will use dry erase markers and durable, erasable slip sleeves to learn to write their own names and high frequency words. As their little fingers learn to shape the letters of these familiar words, students will steadily grow in confidence with writing.
Additionally, students will have opportunities to practice dramatic play using puppets. This play builds student confidence in communicating imaginatively in a safe way, and allows students to broaden each other's knowledge of the community.
Students will use the pocket chart as a visual dictionary. They are learning some very basic words, and they need to see them daily. Students will practice these words in the morning routine, and during the day they can come to the chart to study the word cards within.
The students need pencils, as well. They use pencils in all facets of their writing and drawing.
Students will use these materials to play in new and exciting ways.
Such simple things as writing their names in different colors and erasing it let the child play at a task that would otherwise be dull.
The pocket chart will help students to retain high frequency words, in essence serving as the children's first dictionary. Students can see and handle word cards.
The puppets will help student creativity and joy even while they connect to concepts of a broader community beyond home and school
