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

My students are in their early years of development. Some of the skills that they are learning involve how to express and identify their emotions. The visuals would help my pre-verbal students identify how they are feeling and express those feelings to the classroom staff so that we may be able to assist them in a more efficient manner.

Social-emotional development is essential for playing cooperatively, working in teams, and using appropriate social norms to communicate and interact with others.

My students would benefit from seeing representations of themselves through the differing abilities block people and would be able to interact with one another in an enriched environment with the toys for dramatic play.
