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

During our school day, my Kindergarteners use Play-doh for many reasons. We use Play-doh to relax for quiet time, with friends at indoor recess and for our academics like math to mold the play-doh into different shapes.

The acts of squishing, rolling, and flattening help our younger learners develop muscles used in their hands for fine motor movements.

Squeezing play-doh is also a great technique for helping calm down students who need a break from academics. Playing with the clay can help ease tension, release excess energy, improve focus, and express emotions. Creating objects from scratch encourages my students to stretch their imaginations and think in new and innovative ways.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
