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

Please help my students get the most out of distant learning during school closure!

This was supposed to be their first educational experience, but it was cut short.

My students come from a low income community with very little resources for learning at home. We are a Title I school where all of my students receive free school meals. The majority of them are learning English as a second language.

My young students are caring, creative and very enthusiastic learners! Unfortunately, their education has been affected by the school closures due to COVID - 19 pandemic. Our school will remain closed for the rest of the year. We have been adapting to the distant learning and connecting through Class Dojo. At home my students are struggling to complete assignments due to inadequate materials as well as online issues.

This is a difficult time for everyone but, together we can meet the needs of these young children who have so much going for them.

My Project

We are all affected by this abrupt pandemic and are now forced into this new way of learning and working from home. Adapting to change can be difficult for everyone and especially for our younger students.

Essential materials for my preschoolers are limited, but extremely necessary to continue building on the foundational skills they will need in the years to come.

Without the basic skills my student's education will be hindered.

In this challenging time, parents are focused in providing food and shelter for their family. The supplies I am requesting will provide necessary educational materials to each one of my students. With your help, I hope to prepare an essential learning kit for my students to use at home while our school is closed. Each learning kit will include materials to address their visual and kinesthetic learning modalities as well as spark their creativity. The magnetic boards, magnetic letters, and dry erase makers will help foster phonics and literacy. The markers, crayons, paint, play-doh, pipe cleaners, construction paper, scissors, and glue sticks, will foster their creativity and imagination.

Please help me give my students learning materials for home during distant learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
