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

I work in a neighborhood school that truly is the heart of the neighborhood it serves. Our half day Blended Preschool classroom is dedicated to not only teaching both our typically developing and students with Special Education Services academics (letters, numbers, colors, shapes), but also incorporating social and life skills (tooth brushing, hand washing, eating family style, etc.). Our Title I school really is the backbone of the neighborhood. School events, parent nights, and after school programs are much needed and highly sought out for the students that we serve.

My students are highly diverse.

Whether developmentally, culturally, through language, or ability, all of our students need a variety of resources to truly strive in a classroom setting. We set high expectations for all of our students and strive to give them quality experiences that they may not otherwise receive. Hands-on experiences are crucial for early learners to truly understand and appreciate ideas and studies within the classroom.

My Project

We would like to introduce a new Train Center to our preschool students! A new Train Center would allow them to use their developing imagination and grow their skills organically as they play and learn from each other and their own imaginative games.

Not only will the students begin to develop their imagination and creative side, but they will also be simultaneously working on cooperative play and practicing their social skills.

Our preschool students are working on communicating and interacting with peers. Through a new center like a Train Station, the students will be able to interact, both verbally and by manipulating items, in building and playing with the track!
