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

My students are thirsty for engagement with peers. They would really benefit from collaboration with building toys and creating utilizing STEM materials. I love to watch their creativity as they build during collaborate play time. I teach kindergarten students that live in a low income community. They often do not have access to educational toys that are designed to enhance social interactions. Any donations will be appreciated!

My Project

The students that I teach did not have the opportunity to engage and learn through play last year due to distance learning. They missed out on the preschool experience that enhances social interactions and cooperative play. Some did not develop basic social skills or the joy of learning through collaborative play. They did not develop problem solving and problem resolution skills.

My lessons will create opportunities where my students will work towards a common goal such as learning roles within play.

They will enhance taking turns and encourage communication and feedback.
