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 a group of bright, creative, curious, and very active 5-year-olds who are currently learning about the world that surrounds them. They are striving their hardest to learn as much as they can during their first school experience.

Our school is a Title I school with 100% of our students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

The majority of my students are English-Language Learners and yet at such an early age, they are eager to explore anything and everything that they can get their little hands-on. They love hands on!

My Project

My students will use Play-Doh, modeling clay and foam to create a variety of things in the activity centers. The play-doh, clay and nonhardening foam will help increase their fine motor skills, build hand strength, as well as hand-eye coordination. They will be able to create wonderful masterpieces that will go along with our language arts, math and science curriculum. This is a great way to have fun and engage the students in learning.

My students will be able to use a hands-on approach to create STEM Projects!

They will also be given free time with the Play-Doh to explore and use their own creative minds. They will be strengthening their hand muscles while doing this, which in turn will help develop neat handwriting and fine motor skills.
