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 are energetic, four-year-olds who love to learn! Our class is made up of ten boys and twelve girls. Our small school is a kind and caring learning environment, nestled in a neighborhood just outside of downtown Los Angeles.
Approximately seventy-five percent of our students are considered economically disadvantaged and qualify for free or reduced-rate lunch.
Our population is diverse with students coming from many ethnic backgrounds. We have received the honors of Title I High Achieving School, and California Distinguished School.
My Project
4 year olds love to pretend that they are in the kitchen! Every day, my 4 year old students spend time in our dramatic play kitchen area. We have a variety of foods, dishes, and kitchen equipment in that area. The kids choose what they would like to use to prepare make believe meals and picnics. This is also a great opportunity for language development as they play out these scenarios with their peers. When dramatic play time is over, it is their responsibility to get the area cleaned up.
It is important that our dramatic play materials are easily accessible for little hands!
It is also important that they have what they need to be successful at cleaning up after themselves. A See-Inside Storage Unit would help our daily dramatic play time go much smoother.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
