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 Project
My students live in a world of curiosities. My job is to provide the space, environment, materials, and the endless opportunities for exploration and learning through play. It is a necessity to have different building materials and manipulatives to provide them with the best experiences that will spark their learning.
My TK students learn best through play and engaging with other students enhances their self-regulation skills, social-emotional skills, literacy skills, language development and so much more.
These resources would be a great addition to our classroom choice for play centers since we don't have very many.
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
