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

I am requesting a variety of manipulatives for my pre-k students. These manipulatives will be used on a daily basis throughout the entire year during their workstations. Having a wide selection of manipulatives to choose from keeps students engaged in learning. I want my students to be excited to learn through play. These light table manipulatives, alphabet learning locks, imagination builders, and other manipulatives will help them build their motor skills, phonetic knowledge, number sense, encourage creativity, and beyond.

My goal is to give these students a memorable first year in their education career, with the high-quality materials every student deserves.

My students are special because they are eager to learn and explore. I want my students to have the same opportunities that students from more affluent schools have because they deserve that.

Thank you donors in advance! You make such a big difference in all the students lives you touch. Thank you.
