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 school is an all preschool building. My classroom is a blended classroom with students with special needs mixed with general education students. I have an AM and PM class of 20 students; 6 of which have special needs and the other 14 students are a part of Preschool For All students.

My students, like any 3, 4, and 5-year-olds, learn through play and love hands-on learning!

I get the amazing opportunity to have students in my class for 2 to 3 years before they move on to kindergarten. Each and every student is eager to learn about new topics each day through play and hands-on learning.

My Project

Preschool students learn through play. Fine motor manipulatives are a fun way for students to practice their fine motor skills. In my classroom, these materials will be a free choice center for children to choose during our 50 minutes of free play.

My students can become bored and choose not to play with the same fine motor materials.

These materials will allow me to change out the fine motor manipulatives throughout the year to keep the students engaged. My students learn through play and practice old and new skills through play. These materials will help my students to learn and grow their fine motor skills.
