Celebrating 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.
I teach kindergarten in an inner-city school with a wide mix of students from different backgrounds, ethnicities, economic levels, as well as varying degrees of parental support. All of my students deserve the best education possible and I'm doing my very best to get them the tools we need.
So many of my students come into my class far behind their peers, both academically and socially.
For many, it is their first time in a classroom setting. These students come in not knowing their letters or their letter sounds, knowing how to count, and many times can't even recognize their own name.
Our school is labeled Title I, which means that most of our families are low-income/poverty level. I will have students who don't know exactly where their next meal is coming from or where they're going to sleep that night.
I really do think that I have the best students in the world. They always try their best and work hard to learn everything they need in order to be ready for first grade.
My Project
My students absolutely love playing in our dramatic play center, but right now they're limited to playing house. I want to give my students more options in our play center. I'm wanting to get them firefighter, police officer, and engineer outfits as well as a cash register, phone, and salon tools.
Dramatic play builds social skills and oral language.
Having these new toys will allow them to branch out from simply playing house, to playing store or salon or pretending to rescue and save others. I will be able to use create scenarios for my students to act out while they are in the play center and they will also have the option of free play.
