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

Although not a new teacher, I am embarking on a new journey into the world of Pre-Kindergarten! As this is a child's first introduction to school I want their environment to be as organized and user friendly as possible. The storage rack, bins and magnets will help me put some finishing touches on our room. The clear bins will allow students to see what's available to them during choice times as they learn to be more independent.

Little friends come in with big emotions and I want to be able to address all needs, big and small, to ensure everyone's day is smooth and productive.

The feelings chart and sensory items will help me to help them regulate their little bodies and big feelings! The sensory seating will allow students to attend to whole group lessons longer so they won't miss out on any instruction. I want my classroom to be a safe space for children to share their feelings, learn and play!
