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 so excited to be in person learning. This is the first school experience for most of them and COVID-19 has changed so much about preschool. My students are from the south side of Chicago. The majority of them are just learning English. We have many immigrants from Mexico, China and Algeria. They are so excited to finally be in person! I am so grateful to work with this group of wonderful children.

My Project

My students will use these materials in school during learning centers. They cannot share toys due to COVID-19 and we could really use some individual materials. For most of my students, this is their first school experience. My students have done an amazing job with the COVID-19 protocols but not sharing toys is challenging. I am trying to offer them some new materials that they can play with during centers. We use center time to work on skills such as language, math, social - emotional and fine motor development. More than 1/2 of my students are learning English, so toys used in dramatic play such as Paw Patrol, or Mystery Mountain play set help reinforce new vocabulary and language skills. Other items will help students develop fine motor skills which is important first step to writing. I truly appreciate any support that you can offer.
