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
This project has been created to support students that continue to benefit from learning through play. Vygotsky's theory of play hypothesizes that play is an important component of both language development and understanding the external world.
This includes planning materials and lessons that help enrich learning and develop skills such as inquiry, expression, experimentation and teamwork.
The materials in this project are purposeful towards things students have either experiences with their adults, seen in movies and books or have had some exposure.
For example Melissa Dougs materials that offer opportunity to imagine birthday parties, or any celebration while being able to experiment with numbers, fractions, size comparisons. The traveling set can open connections and opportunities to go on an adventure to a new environment they have never been but will bring interest.
A through Z grocery set will open a pathway to life skills of language that is used daily but also work with letter sounds. Having these materials to play creates an experience students hold onto that also open up opportunities to explore, access and draw connections to academics, social emotional and physical skills.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
