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.
My Students
Teaching Pre-K has been my passion for the last 12 years. I have spent those years working with primarily Hispanic students. Most of my students enter school only speaking Spanish. I really try to infuse the curriculum with an abundance of literacy. I use literacy in many forms of play to help with English acquisition. The students thrive in acquiring the English language through story retelling and role playing. My students work hard and they love to learn and grow.
My Project
I am requesting costumes and other resources to provide pretend play activities for my students. With these items my students will have an opportunity to discuss and act out real life situations or retelling stories they have been listening too. They will use these items to explore language and form relationships that they cannot do while playing at plexiglass tables.
These items provide a platform that allows the students to talk to one another in either their native language or exploring the English language.
By giving the students these opportunities they become comfortable with both peers and teachers. When this comfort is achieved the students then take this new found confidence and expand it to different areas of their learning.
More than half of students from low‑income households
