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

Our school is an early childhood center that serves children 3-6 years old. It provides high-quality educational programs for children with exceptionalities (e.g., autism, developmental delays, physical disabilities, and health impairments). 60% of students are identified as low-income, 79% identified as diverse learners, and 30% identified as English Language Learners. I, a special education teacher, co-teach with an amazing general education teacher and two out-of-this-world paraprofessionals. Together we work closely with families, service providers, and administrators to ensure our students are getting what they need when they need it.

The letter blocks and giant beads will be used to create immersive experiences across different sensory tables such as our sand, water, and light tables.

In addition to enhancing students' sensory play, this fresh mix of table toys will help them develop their literacy, mathematic, social-emotional, and fine motor skills! Hands-on materials are very important for students this age as they work to learn their letters and numbers, learn to take turns, and develop their hand-eye-coordination skills. These materials will not only benefit current students but also students for years and years to come!
