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 four year old Pre-K students come to school with little experience using manipulative toys, games and activities. The items I chose will help develop their coordination as well as strengthen their little hands.

My wonderful students live in a low socio-economic area plagued by crime and poverty.

Their families are supportive of their education but sometime for reasons beyond their control, they are unable to provide "play and learn" experiences for their children.

My Project

My students need Waffle Builder, Design Builder, Bristle Builders, Hardwood Boats and Planes, Community Vehicles, and Rainbow Design blocks to use as classroom manipulative games and activities to help with small muscle coordination as they learn to work cooperatively with their classmates. As the students enter their classroom, they begin each day with "Choice Time." This special time of the day allows students to self-select activities that interest them and at the same time, get additional practice with developmentally appropriate activities.

The manipulative games and activities that I have selected will support and enrich the Pre-K curriculum.

My "little learners" will develop many new skills and use creative thinking to build and design.
