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 some of the most energetic and creative kindergartners in New York! I teach 25 lively Kindergarten students. We are always on the move and I am constantly looking for new activities to keep them engaged in their learning. In my 5 years teaching kindergarten in the Bronx, I’ve realized that my students learn the best through hands-on learning experiences, they definitely have a love for school and this will set the tone for a happy and productive school year!

My Project

Colorful caddies, book baggies, KleenSlates, and more... Can you think back to your first experience in school and your very first Kindergarten Class? I want to recreate that most inviting and engaging environment for my students. After this past year, and living through the current situation, these children will truly deserve the best that education has to offer them!

With your help and your donation, you can help to make my vision become a reality for my future kindergarten students!

They are going to flourish when they are engaged in such a welcoming and inviting classroom with all the extras included!
