Help me give my students the amazing opportunity to explore different cultures in dramatic play. I would love to help them learn to be self sufficient young adults by learning how to cook and clean from different cultures.

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 come from a title one district, it is in the lower Yakima Valley which resided on the Yakima reservation. My students come from all walks of life and are eager to build their education surrounding by their community. My student are Pre- K ages 4-5. 100% of my students qualify for free and reduced priced lunch, which means most of our families are considered low income status. The majority of our students parents work long hours in agriculture and labor industries, which leaves little time for personal social skills in real life situations such as getting dressed, cooking and self help skills. I strive to make my classroom a safe environment by accommodating all students' social and academic needs. My students are very eager to learn self help skills and becoming sufficient young adults.
My Project
These materials will be so beneficial for my students as well as their creativity. As Loris Malaguzzi said, " Our task, regarding creativity is to help children climb their own mountains, as high as possible no one can do more. I want students to explore real life scenario by using the kitchen set as well as the play clothing. My students will be able to use dress up clothing to explore different cultures, which I hope will turn into future goals. Students can us their imagination a pretend they are in different atmospheres. With the new materials I hope it will enhance their imagination and learn new life skills.
