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 Students

The students served by this project are in Extended Transitional Kindergarten, Transitional Kindergarten, Kindergarten and first grade.

Our new content based playroom will provide language experiences for our primary students.

My school is a Title I school in a low-income area of the city of Los Angeles. All the students who attend this school receive free breakfast and lunch. About 48% of the school population are English language learners. Our school is a Gold Ribbon School and is very interested in developmentally appropriate practices for our youngest students. All of our primary teachers, work very closely to implement high standards so students receive the foundational learning they need to be successful in life and reach their academic goals. Thank you so much for your consideration of our project.

My Project

These bug viewers, books, talking microscope will be used to help students learn about insects. Students will learn about insect life cycles and have an opportunity to observe live insects. The x-ray picture cards will help students understand the anatomical features of insects. All of these materials will be housed in our new content based playroom so all of our Extended Transitional Kindergarten, Transitional Kindergarten, Traditional Kindergarten and first grade students will have access to these materials.

We want our students to be excited and engaged as they learn about the insect world.

Play is the highest form of research but it also makes for children who love to explore and learn about the world around them. And don't we want that for all students?
