Celebrating 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 school is located in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood in Houston, TX. The students at our school must be in a lower income bracket to qualify for Pre-k. Many of their parents are either from Hispanic countries or are first-generation Americans. It is in the classroom that my three and four year olds first develop their feelings about school, learning how it relates to them. They come in eager and ready to learn about the world around them. They love learning through play.
My Project
Most of my pre k students come to school with the need to improve their fine motor skills. These skills are needed throughout a child's lifetime. Having good fine motor skills helps build a child's independence. These skills are required in life for academics , play and life skills.
The materials such as pop snap beads, play dough, watercolors, dry erase pens have been recommended by occupational therapists to help strengthen young children's fine motor control.
I will also be able to review academic skills in math and language arts.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
