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

The children in my classroom come into school every day energized and excited to be in school. It is always wonderful to share the joy our children have for learning. In my Pre-k classroom a lot of the children learn through exploration.

My children deserve an area where exploration can happen and has plenty of space for it.

The children always love when new materials are added to the sand and water table, but at times not all the materials fit. Which makes it difficult for the children to maneuver and have a full experience. I would like to provide the children with sufficient space, so they can make the most out of their experience.

My Project

Listening to music is a daily activity in a Pre-k classroom. The audio player I am requesting will allow the children to listen to songs and/or books on CD. The current audio player in the classroom often skips playing songs.

Exposing young children to music helps with the development of sounds and meanings of words.

Children benefit listening to books on tape/CD just as much as reading the paper book. It is also nice to play relaxing music during quiet time. Soothing music helps the children relax and "wind down" before transitioning into the afternoon schedule. My children love to sing and dance, and they deserve a great audio player.
