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 full of energy! They come in every morning with a smile on their faces and ready for the days adventures. Their giggles and laughs as we are learning through play, warm up my heart and make me want to provide the best environment possible for them. I see their curious minds investigating the world around them and want to give them more tools to fuel their interests. They are all little sponges soaking up new information each and every day! Even though the year has just begun, I am so proud of them and could not be happier to be their teacher! I am truly lucky and blessed!

My Project

Imagine 16 pairs of eyes lighting up when they see their brand new color changing light table! The light table has a natural ability to draw children in and allows their learning to be enhanced. They will have the opportunity to manipulate geometric and magnetic shapes, letters, light table color disks and much more on the light table. Children will practice their architectural skills by building structures with the magnetic shapes, explore color theories with light table color disks and practice their letter recognition with colorful letters. This light table will also be used in coordination with our studies. For example when doing our tree study the children will be able to observe different nature materials under the light table such as twigs, leaves, pine cones etc. This light table will encourage children to manipulate objects they may not have been interested in before and allow them to learn while having fun!
