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

Play promotes learning, building social skills and most of all language and interactions between peers.

This project will provide many different powerful tools to promote development across all domains.

The book and plush will help students build their language in identifying their feelings and be able to use the story and plush to identify and label their feelings. Having and providing enriched materials like the marble rolling and spy game will increase interest in the materials we are able to provide for our students to encourage and build language with the teachers and peers in the classroom. The alphabet robots will be a great tool to promote literacy and letter knowledge.
