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

In kindergarten we do a lot of complex learning disguised as play. While academics are always at the forefront of education we often forget that social skills and emotional intelligence are vital keys to student success.

Dramatic play helps students practice critical skills like cooperation, negotiation, empathy, self-regulation and problem-solving.

This type of play also helps students strengthen communication, vocabulary and language skills. Dramatic play gives children an emotional outlet and helps develop imagination and creative thinking.

With screens often dominating playtime outside of school, it's vital that we include dramatic play as part of our day so that students can grow important emotional intelligence skills and become well-rounded successful individuals.

The students in my class are the next generation of leaders and I want to make sure they are well equipped to take on whatever their bright futures hold.

Thanks for your support!
