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.
Nature breeds curiosity, it helps to grow explorers.
Help my students learn as they play.
“Most importantly, in play, children learn how to learn.” “They learn so many things that they don’t even realize they are learning like problem-solving and social skills.
Help my students learn as they play. We are a Certified Nature Explore Preschool. This type of program gives children opportunities to access the natural environment.
I have noticed how a nature-based space helps children intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically. It is amazing to see our children experiencing a free-flowing environment that stimulates the sights, scents, sounds, and textures of the outdoors. It is so exciting to see children digging in the dirt, watch worms wriggle through the soil, gaze at clouds, listen to birds sing, collect sticks and leaves, construct things with twigs and muds.
Our goal is to continue to create an outdoor environment with a variety of activities and learning experiences that can serve as extensions of the indoor learning environment and maintain a space that is safe and organized with designated areas for various types of play and learning.
My Project
Children learn through play. Painting exercises a child’s brain. kids learn how to express their own feelings by transforming their own ideas and feelings onto paper.
By proving my students with art supplies while in the outdoor area, will allow them to have fun and to develop motor skills by holding a paintbrush to coloring with crayons.
In addition to getting their hands physically dirty creating art, they will have the opportunity to expand their vocabulary by learning words for colors, shapes, and various actions.
Studies have shown that through art activities children strengthen both critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. For example, exploring through art will encourage my students to try new ideas in other areas of life. Not only will this further spark creativity and imagination, but they can also use critical thinking to react to new experiences and problem-solving when necessary.
