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

My students are three years old and this is their first experience in school. They are among the first three year olds to attend 3K in the NYC school district. They come from a low income/high poverty neighborhood in the South Bronx, and have not been afforded the opportunities that children in more well to do neighborhoods are given.

It's my goal to provide a classroom for my students that is welcoming, offers opportunities for exploration, and prepares them for future academic success.

My Project

My 3K students are developing the necessary skills for their future success in writing. The requested materials for our Writing Center will help strengthen my student's fine motor skills, which are necessary for writing. They will also give my students the opportunity to communicate their thoughts and feelings.

Early childhood writing skills are best developed when young children are provided with opportunities for practice and when they are provided with materials they can explore.

The magic writing boards, pre-writing magnetic boards, printing practice cards, tactile letters, and letter writing activity center will encourage my young students to both experiment with new writing tools and practice their acquired skills. These supplies will give my students the opportunity to have fun as they explore writing.
