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 with 19 wonderful, eager and culturally diverse children, most of whom are from low-income families. Every day they come into my classroom ready for new adventures and unique experiences.

With various strengths, weaknesses, and English language development I have come to learn how resilient these little scientists, artists, entertainers, and educators are.

Each child brings something special to my classroom. From the 3-year-old who wants a hug and a story read to them, to the 5-year-old questioning why water doesn't fall off of the Earth, I find myself on my toes never knowing what the new day with bring. With that in mind, I've learned my ultimate goal is to make our classroom a safe haven as well as an exciting learning environment, where their curiosity knows no boundaries.

My Project

These are amazing materials for my students. My children love to build and explore structures. In our Reggio program the natural materials will help the children not only appreciate natural materials but also add a different aspect to their building experiences.

Letters are fun!

Exploring with the stone letters will help my children learn their letters and hopefully how to write the letters. This will be a great sensory experience for the children. The children will not only learn how to write the letters but be able to identify the letters in their names.
