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 Project

In our kindergarten class, we prioritize creating engaging learning experiences that cater to the diverse needs and interests of our students. To achieve this, we're seeking assistance in acquiring a TeachersPayTeachers gift card. This gift card will be used to purchase a variety of resources to enrich our phonics centers, enhance math fluency, and facilitate memorable graduation projects for our end-of-year celebrations.

Phonics Centers: Phonics is the foundation of early literacy development.

With your support, we'll acquire interactive and hands-on phonics activities that will captivate our students' attention while reinforcing letter-sound correspondence, sight word recognition, and decoding skills. These resources will provide opportunities for independent and collaborative learning, ensuring that each child progresses at their own pace.

Math Fluency: Developing strong math fluency is crucial for kindergarten students as they begin their journey into mathematical concepts. Through the use of engaging games, puzzles, and activities, we will reinforce basic numeracy skills such as counting, addition, and subtraction. These resources will not only build mathematical proficiency but also foster a positive attitude towards mat.

Graduation Projects: We want to celebrate the achievements of our kindergarten students with memorable graduation projects. With your generosity, we will acquire supplies and materials for creative projects that showcase each child's growth, accomplishments, and unique personality. From personalized diplomas to handmade keepsakes, these projects will serve as cherished mementos for students and their families, marking the end of their kindergarten journey and the beginning of exciting new adventures.

By supporting our project, you'll be making a meaningful difference in the lives of our kindergarten students, empowering them with the tools and experiences they need to thrive academically and creatively.

Thank you for considering our proposal and for your dedication to education.

Warm regards,

Katherine Marinaro
