Celebrating 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.
The students in our classroom are 3-4 year old children. They come to us from low income homes, and all students have been identified as having a disability in the area of language. In our classroom we are working on building expressive and receptive language through play.
We work closely with families to build a strong school-home connection; as well as with speech therapists to provide research-based expertise.
Our classroom is the stepping stone that our students need to be school ready!
My Project
Our goal is to give students the opportunity to develop their creativity and to build their vocabulary as they design, paint, and craft. We want to stimulate imagination!
Art has been proven to be an important catalyst in learning, discovery, and achievement.
By providing students with paints, play dough, and other supplies, we will open up a world of creativity and possibility. We will encourage students to create, design, and build projects that will stimulate their math, science, and engineering skills. As they work and once their projects are complete, they will be able to build on their oral language skills by describing what they are doing and then presenting projects to their classmates.
Providing students with hands-on, engaging, interactive materials will spark their desire to not only attend school, but to work harder towards their goals.
Art will provide students a perfect outlet and occasion for speaking, using math and science, and engaging with others.
