Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

My Project

What I love about my students are their imagination and creativity. What makes them unique is their ability to take everyday objects and recreate a story, game, or activity in new and creative ways. A pretend play fresh mart grocery store and shopping cart will support their creative minds. Meaningful lessons and activities help students connect real-world experiences to academic information. These materials will make a difference in the students learning because it supports how Pre-K students learn, which is through purposeful play. Creating a classroom that supports students learning and their learning environment sets them on a journey to becoming successful students.
