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

Our children are dreamers. They are eager and motivated to learn. They come from families who are hard-working, and they are teaching their children that same motivation for learning. Many of our families fall below the national poverty levels; some experiencing the situation of being homeless or are home insecure. In addition, English is a second language for the majority of our families or they are bilingual households.

Every child deserves a great start.

Our children deserve no less than great. Our children are getting ready for kindergarten, and it is our job to prepare them! Having the right materials and devices is a large part of preparing students for school success!

My Project

My students are exploring environments. Currently we are looking at the environment of a coral reef and looking to create one of our own. After completing our coral reef, we want to invite the students families in to our room to complete a scavenger hunt looking for plants, animals and earth features. Children are currently working on invitations but we realized we need more books and information about coral reefs!

Creating our coral reef will take lots of small donations just like coral is many small animals (coral polyps) grouped together to make one larger piece of coral!

Please consider a donation to our coral reef and be a part of a bigger dream. I can't wait to start this project with your assistance and show you what we are capable of!
