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

In my class, I have 28 Kindergarten students. 28 excitable, energetic, and enthusiastic students. The school is located in an urban area with students who come from diverse backgrounds. Despite the many challenges we face. I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with a creative and meaningful learning experience.

My Project

This past year has been a struggle for all. I want my class to look forward to coming to school. In doing so I want to add lots of fun and educational lessons. Research tells us that fun is serious business for kids. Playtime helps young children learn to solve problems, get along with others, express their creativity and develop their physical dexterity and language skills. It is through play that young children experience the joy of learning. When teachers use activities that make learning engaging and fun, students are more willing to participate and take risks. Having fun while learning also helps students retain information better because the process is enjoyable and memorable. Please help me provide my students with fun meaningful learning material. In my project I included fun learning tools to help them learn, fine motor skills to strengthen muscles and fun activities to use during recess.
