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 work at a school where 85% of students receive free or reduced lunch. My students are aged 3-5 years old and all have Individualized Education Plans. My students are curious, full of energy and life and always eager to learn! They love learning new skills and are proud of their own successes and those of their peers. My ultimate goal is to give my students a positive learning experience in a school setting, setting the foundation for a love of learning and a love of school. Students learn best through hands-on experiences and through the process rather than always have to produce a product. We are a classroom family learning patience, empathy, and acceptance for everyone.
My Project
My curriculum consists of daily lessons in science, math, literacy, art, social studies as well as fine and gross motor development. These materials will be used by my students daily in both large and small group instruction as well as used individually. Materials such as the Mighty Magnet set and the Magnetic Building Shapes and Mega Magnetic Polydron Set will allow my students to work with cause and effect, coordination skills, communication skills as well as creativity as many magnetic items are open-ended. Colored kinetic sand, Washable Sensory Play Materials, See-Through Pitchers, Magic Water Marbles and Wacky Water Droppers will give my sensory seeking students opportunities to learn through their senses of touch, hearing, and sight and increase their language and vocabulary skills while exploring safe and appropriate materials.
Materials such as the Sift and Find Number and Letter Shells, Float and Find Alphabet Bubbles, Magnetic Fishing Number Set, and Magnetic Fishing Alphabet Set will help my students with numeral and letter identification, one to one correspondence, phonemic awareness through tactile experiences and sensory exploration with water and sand.
The paint, beads, feathers, pom poms, and other art materials will provide my students with tactile opportunities to use their fingers to express themselves creatively. The Flip, Feel and Write Number Boards, Trace and Write Alphabet Center and the Draw and Write Touch Board will allow all my students multiple opportunities to use their fingers and practice their writing utensil grip before learning how to hold pencils and writing tools.
