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.
I teach four-year-old kindergarten in a large urban public school district in Wisconsin. Currently, our entire school district receives free breakfast and lunch. Our 50-60 (in two classrooms) students attend full-day K4. We have several special needs students who receive services and students who come to school speaking little or no English.
Our school has wonderful parents who participate in their child's educational experiences and value education as an important part of their child's success in the future.
Our classrooms are for regular education and special education children. It is a wonderful, inclusive environment for children!
Because our K4 program is "board-funded" and K4 is not required by Wisconsin law, we receive no additional funds for anything. We are still underfunded and due to COVID-19 we really need more funding!
My Project
Do you remember to joy of creating with Play-Doh as a child? My students are learning from home during this pandemic. There are days that we just have fun creating letters or numbers out of Play-Doh. Some children have already used up their Play-Doh and have none to participate during fine motor activities.
My students are missing out on "normal" early childhood experiences during virtual learning.
Play-Doh has always been a daily activity in my classroom during playtime and used for some other educational activities. It is fun and they are learning social, fine motor and oral language skills when they work with Play-Doh. They have an opportunity to create and use their imaginations.
Please help bring some joy to my students as we approach winter. As it gets colder they will be in the house even more.
