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.
Our classroom community is made up of 20 thoughtful and adventurous preschoolers. Their curiosity and desire to learn means that they are always questioning and pushing boundaries. Each day, they come to school eager to dive into new ideas and challenge what they know. They have come to see problems as opportunities and failures as learning experiences. They inspire me everyday!
Our school sits in a beautiful community, filled with Hispanic heritage, but low on resources and economic opportunity for families.
Because of their background, it is even more important that our children have access to hands-on, meaningful learning opportunities. Our students' low income background does not deter us from holding them to high expectations, and raising the visibility of their work.
I am proud everyday to work with these children, and I look forward to watching them grow as learners and as humans.
My Project
Our preschool classroom has loved building and deconstructing towers since the first day of school. Stemming from this interest, we have decided to take a deeper look at architecture, construction, and types of buildings. This has led us to our long-term building inquiry and study, which we would like to complete by taking a trip to the Willis Tower.
This field trip will allow the children to culminate their study and celebrate their learning by taking a look at a beautiful piece of the city.
Living in Chicago and studying buildings, it seems that it would be a great waste to go without experiencing one of the most famous buildings in the world, right in our backyard. The children will have a chance to interview a building worker, see the building's exhibits, eat lunch in the tower, and finally ride up to the 103rd floor to experience the 'Ledge' and get a chance to see some of the world's greatest architecture from 1,353 feet.
