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 Students

Our self-contained ASD Preschool classroom includes 12 three- and four-year-olds with various abilities. Our students are hands-on learners who require short and engaging activities. They are happy and curious learners who think concretely. They play at home and at school, learning with their whole bodies - loving to taste, touch, move, explore, smell, watch, and wonder.

They look forward to coming to school to learn by doing what they do best, playing!

They are always ready to engage in active learning. Each day is focused on structure and exposure to new ideas and constructive work.

My Project

We are lucky to have our preschool playground. We have tricycles, balls, blocks, dollhouses, and a play structure. We are missing sand and dirt, bugs and plants that other schools can offer their students.

Creating a potted sensory garden in our play yard will allow the children to plant seeds, grow and tend plants, and interact with each other

The sensory garden filled with different plants will stimulate and engage the five basic senses of sight, smell, sound, touch, and taste. We look forward to creating, exploring, and caring for our beautiful garden!
