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.
Our learning starts in the classroom from the moment the students arrive. They are eager to learn everything the world has to offer.
They are a group of Pre-K students that are eagerly looking to become independent individuals.
The first thing the students learn is independence. They are exploring the classroom and eager to expand their learning through play but it all begins by learning to take responsibility for their personal belongings. Students learn the arrival routine where they learn to put their coats, backpacks, and blankets in their personal space. This allows students to become responsible and take ownership of their own things.
My Project
I have been working really hard with my students to find a passion for exploring and expanding their ideas when they are in the science center and in the constructing with the Magna-Tiles.
As the kids use these materials in the classroom, the connections that they will be made between the classroom and home are the most important.
These materials will help students want to develop the building of simple machines that they can use to understand ramps and speed. These materials will also help to expand student exploration by helping them look deeper at animals and nature around them.
