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

I have a class full of 18 busy and fun 4 year olds preparing for Kindergarten by learning and exploring through play. Our Transition to Kindergarten program is designed to provide access to a quality early childhood learning opportunity to children that lack access to preschool.

As you can imagine, a class of 18 four-year-olds is full of LOTS of big feelings.

One of my main goals over the year is to help my students learn to label their emotions and learn strategies to calm down and work on self-regulation. These important Social Emotional skills are the building blocks for success - not just in Kindergarten but in life.

The Little Spot book set as well as the other books requested are all designed specifically with the earliest learners in mind. They have engaging pictures and stories that my class can relate to, and really enjoy. These books will help me teach my students how to recognize and label their sometimes, overwhelming emotions. Some of the stories will focus on teaching my students specific strategies to calm down and solve problems with friends.
