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

In my classroom, students enjoy center time. I'm looking to add some exciting materials perfect for cooperative play. The farm play set would be great for centers on farm animals, farm to table, or environments. The Trace and Draw Projector could be added to the writing center or be it's own drawing center. The adventure ship is a great opportunity to develop boat/ship vocabulary. The Green train, helicopter, and tea set are wonderful dramatic play opportunities to develop daily vocabulary as well as some career specific vocabulary. The Joy/Cat Ice Cream Activity can be used in math centers, an Ice Cream Shop, and/or a sorting center. The Pop and Link Beads are great for patterning, jewelry making, math, counting, or sorting centers.

If they could my students would play all day.

Honestly, there is not a better way for them to learn at this age. These items would create more centers that spark their creativity, learning, and play. This is awesome because I want to build their vocabulary and oral language by adding new adventures to our classroom.
