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

I have included items to help my student develop and improve their fine and gross motor skills. The items that I have added to enhance their gross motor skills will be used in both my developmental and community preschool classes. What I love about these is that we can easily use them in the classroom when the weather prevents us from going outside for recess. This way, students can have fun while improving gross motor skills like balance, throwing, and crawling (also, it would be great to teach waiting and taking turns!) The items I have included for fine motor skills will be used during our learning time. I chose these items because they will help our students express their artistic selves and improve fine motor skills like pencil grip, pinching, wrist movements, and hand-eye coordination. These items will also help students practice academics like counting, letters, rhyming, and colors.

My goal is to ensure that my students don't miss out on gross motor movement time due to the weather and that their fine motor skills continue to improve throughout the year.

Some students aren't interested in activities that will improve their fine motor skills. I hope that by implementing these items in our learning time, they will enjoy themselves while learning and improving their daily skills!
