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 25 energetic and ready to learn Kindergarten students.

For most of my students, this is their first school experience and I want for it to be a memorable one!

Kindergarten is one of the first foundations for the rest of their educational careers and your donation will help me maximize their experiences. Our school is located in South Los Angeles, California. We are a 100% Title I school, which means all of our students qualify for free meals.

My Project

I am asking for an easy puzzle and game that will help my students learn and identify letter names. Ladybug letters and POP for letter stems are games that my students can easily manipulate and use in small groups.

I am also asking for LEGO's to help my students with fine motor skills.

Building Fine Motor Skills with Lego Bricks. Students with weak fine motor skills can be frustrated when they try to use tools such as paint brushes and markers. ... It's important to find playful activities that not only strengthen those fine motor muscles, but also build the child's confidence.
