Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Students

I have 11 students who are outgoing, energetic, fun-loving little boys and girls. They come in every morning eager to learn new things and interact/talk with their peers. They all love to “empty their cup” (share anything on their mind) every morning during morning messages.

My Project

Many students learn through doing and my kiddos are no different, truly learning as they play. Unfortunately, our classroom is lacking a lot of hands on toys and materials needed to engage in conversation and interaction with other classmates. With the community block people, my students will be able to pretend play and talk to one another as they build a community of their own. With the help of a simple cash register, my students can learn about waiting for their turn to buy things and learn how to order in our “ice cream” shop.
