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

My students are 4 year olds who come to school ready to start building the foundations of their learning. I have a morning and afternoon session which means I teach 40 students with different interests and abilities. They are eager to explore and learn in many different ways even though many of them don't speak English.

The students make every minute count and they are becoming life long learners on the road to reaching their dreams.

Their school day is only 3 hours so they need to get the most of every learning experience I can offer them.

My Project

My students need new babies and baby clothes to improve their communication in the housekeeping area of the classroom. They will be able to talk more as they play with the dolls along with the new pots and pans that come along with this project.

The students can read the new emergent readers to their new baby dolls to improve their reading fluency.

The last part of the project is to provide new big books to some favorite stories we have in the classroom. Silly Sally and the Napping House have been a big hit with the students this year. I'm excited to add these big books to their collection.
