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 Project

The toys I have requested will help my students engage in different types of pretend play. I also tried my best to find toy sets that correlate with the studies that my students will be exploring. For example, the vet set will be used during Pets study. The tool set will be used during Buildings study and the laundry set can be used during Clothes study.

Providing my students with toys that can enhance their learning and imagination will allow my students to explore beyond play.

These toys can enhance the learning from the curriculum that the class is exploring throughout the whole school year. These toys will be an amazing addition to our dramatic play area where imagination takes flight.
