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
I teach 2 groups of 24 children in each, for a total of 48 students, between the ages of 3-5 year olds.
Many children experience my classroom as their first time outside of their home environments.
The students develop their language skills through play at this age. They have a great imagination and are full of ideas.
My students are eager to learn to share and pretend play with other children and to expand their imagination, exploring and modeling other adults that they may observe. Through play, all my students definitely learn!
My Project
My students will learn healthy and nutritional values. Materials like kitchen furniture (stove, refrigerator, sink, and microwave) will help increase and encourage children's social-emotional and language development.
This will be something essential that my classroom will utilize on an everyday basis.
Many children in my program experience my classroom as their first time outside their own home. For children who are considered disadvantaged because of their family’s low-income status, this will be a great learning experience to be able to pretend using these materials in class.
I will encourage self-eating habits and help them refine fine motor skills. Children will have the opportunity to dress-up, pretend cooking, eating, and cleaning up the kitchen in the dramatic play area. This will increase their awareness of nutritional and healthy eating. They will also learn to help others at home in the kitchen which will assist them in their social-emotional and language development skills.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
