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 Project

I have the privilege of teaching 6 students in a Kindergarten self-contained classroom. My students are a diverse group of fun, sweet, smart, and creative students. Each one of them brings their own unique personality and energy into the classroom. They all have individual strengths and needs that my team and I work on to meet daily so that they can learn and grow.

This project will help teach my students the necessary components of how to self-regulate in a challenging world.

These materials will allow my students to provide their bodies with what they need to have a productive and successful day!

Ms. Barrera PS 24 Grades PreK-2

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
