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
My kindergartners are curious and love to explore! We’ve worked a few free moments into our packed learning schedule to play creatively. I absolutely love to watch their imaginations soar. They pretend, plan and discuss and I am amazed at how truly innovative they have already become.
Creative play is essential in helping my students learn English.
As they acquire new vocabulary, they use it to journey through their new adventures. Giving them meaningful learning experiences that are also exciting is truly important at this crucial time in their development. Fun, daily practice is a simple way to achieve more!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
