Celebrating 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 very enthusiastic to learn new things in preschool. They learn through play and hands on activities. They come from low income families where their parents work long hours or attend to school. Most of my students are English learners and some of them only speak Spanish at home , for that reason they do not have the opportunity to practice their vocabulary and social skills learned at school. The materials that I am requesting will enhance my students ability to socialize among themselves. When a child engage in pretend play, they also their language skills and ability to share and make new friends through play. Thank you for your help in my students education.
My Project
In the Dramatic Play area, children take on different roles and enact real-life experiences. They use props and make-believe to deepen their understandings about the world.
Pretending is very important to your child’s development.
Children who know how to make believe develop good vocabularies, which are important for reading. They learn to cooperate with others, to solve problems, and to think abstractly. All of those skills are important for success in school. When children pretend, they recall and re-create experiences. To do this, they need to form mental images. For example, to play the role of a doctor, children have to remember what tools a doctor uses, how a doctor examines a patient, and what a doctor says. In playing a doctor or other roles, children learn to cooperate with others and to share their ideas.
