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 kindergarten in a public school located in New York City.

I have 25 curious, motivated students who are eager and excited about learning.

Their enthusiasm about the world around them is inspiring. They make teaching enjoyable and fulfilling! Kindergarteners learn best through play and exploration, and I keep that in mind as I create differentiated lessons to accomodate their different learning styles.

My kindergarteners thrive in an environment where they have a voice and their ideas are valued, which fosters independence and creativity.

However, with budget cuts, it is difficult to provide my little ones with all the resources that are needed.

My Project

In kindergarten, we go through supplies quickly! It is my job to ensure that my students have all the necessary materials they need to make their creative vision come to life.

I am asking for help with obtaining materials for my class to encourage and support their creativity.

We use lots of construction paper and markers to do projects that are related to content we are learning in school as well as for independent art projects.

The watercolors, stencils and dot art will enhance the children's beautiful work even more.

The chart paper will be used to record the children's ideas and thoughts. My kindergarteners love to have their ideas written down!

My kindergarteners need supplies to support their creativity and independence.
