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

My Pre-K students are an amazing group of little people, who are always excited to jump from one learning experience to another.

I want them to always have the joy of learning may it be in-person or remote.

I want them to be eager to learn and explore their potential. I want to see my students' eyes light up when they "get it" I just want to provide them with every possible incentive to keep that spark going.

My Project

Active play is one of many ways that young children learn, with these new materials we can revamp our Dramatic Play area and give the children many hours of enjoyment where their imaginations can go wild.

The children will have the opportunity to play, learn and grow together.

These new pieces will provide the opportunity for our pre-k children to create and enjoy "Imagination Adventures" and learn many social skills that come with active play with other children.

The children will have an engaging area that we can utilize for all our units of study.
