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

I teach in a public school, we are a title I school, although we have already some resources we are always in need of more challenging and engaging new materials and resources.

My early-scholars in PK are full of ideas, creativity, energy, love, they enjoy working as a team building, imaging, acting playing, drawing, writing as a part of our school day.

Your donation will allow my early-scholars to develop social and emotional skills, fosters creativity and imagination, and finally to encourages language skills so needed in PK.

My Project

Play is essential in PK because it contributes to the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being of the students. By having challenging and engaging centers around the classroom little ones have an opportunity to develop into early-scholars.

Play is a great opportunity for me as a teacher to engage fully with my students and for the students to start knowing each other in a free-risk environment.

I am compromised with my early scholars to give them many and different opportunities where they can be challenged, engaged and at the same time learn basic skills for life and for future school years, we need materials, like paint, and equipment where little ones can explore, be challenged, learn, and much more.
