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

Do you remember how fun it was to play with stamps and play dough? Well kids still LOVE to do that. These materials will allow my students to play and learn at the same time.

I teach 22 wonderful kindergarten students.

We are in a high-needs school where over 98% participate in the free or reduced lunch program. My students unfortunately have not had the good fortune to explore their creative side and develop their fine motor skills. Their families struggle to provide their basic needs and there is not much room left for the extras.

My Project

These wonderful stamps, stamp pads, and art materials will allow my students to explore, design, and create while developing their early literacy skills. The students will be able to practice the alphabet and start making words using hands on materials. They will also be working on their fine motor skills at the same time.

Our kids deserve to be exposed to all aspects of learning.

These materials will give the students the opportunity to play, learn, and have fun all at the same time. Your generosity will make this possible for them.
