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

Developmental learning, is the most natural way to receive, store and apply new information. Play is not a break from learning – it is the way young children learn. The students acquire new information through exploration as opposed to learning it. Preschool students learn differently from school-age children, play is essential to learning and developing academics and ideas about the world.

Researchers are finding more and more connections between children’s play and the learning that helps them succeed in school.

Play in prekindergarten connects to early literacy, mathematical thinking, problem-solving and success for all !
