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 in a low-income/high poverty school district provides many challenges. The students in my classroom come from very diverse backgrounds but they have one thing in common...their thirst for learning in a nurturing and developmentally appropriate environment. They desire an environment that provides ample opportunities for active learning to take place while they are challenged and explore through the use of hands-on activities.
We provide rigorous instruction that enables our children to achieve academic excellence while building the social and emotional skills needed to become well-rounded individuals.
My goal is to offer my students experiences that they would not ordinarily be exposed to. I strive to provide them with hands-on materials that will inspire them to interact, investigate and explore. They love books, technology, and manipulating the environment through their senses. Together we make learning fun and successful.
My Project
As we navigate through our new normal and explore in-person learning my young students and I yearn for a variety of ways to enhance interactive learning using limited materials.
I strive to provide resources that will keep my students organized and safe as they interact, investigate and explore materials at home and at school.
The use of the storage bins, caddies and labels will assist me in maintaining safety protocols in our class during these trying times. Hands-on materials are a must with our preschool students as we encourage the development of their fine motor skills, oral language skills as well as their mathematical logical reasoning skills. The use of the multiple bins, labels and caddies will allow us to safely sort individual student materials for learning while preventing the spread of germs in our classroom.
The use of the individual trays will allow our students to explore their creativity while fine tuning their motor skills.
