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 students love school and work very hard each and every day! I take pride in them being so kind, respectful, and enthusiastic. I love being able to show my students new experiences, materials, tools, and anything that will help them grow.

Some students did not attend preschool, and didn't have an early childhood experience with play, creativity, or opportunities to gain independence!

I am excited to have a classroom where students can engage in hands-on, student lead learning beyond our classroom walls!

My Project

The outdoor mud kitchen will allow for students to experiment with play and build language. Our English language learners often need help developing those listening and speaking skills. Sometimes students are shy, and play can bring them out of their comfort zone. Play can expose them to new vocabulary and the opportunity to listen to fluent speakers. It also allows them to love learning and love school.

Play is such an important part of developing social-emotional skills, language, and life skills.

This mud kitchen will bring so much joy and excitement to our kindergarten playground!
