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

This time in a child's life should be the most fun especially when you're going to first grade! Learning should be fun and exciting and with new materials and games to use during center time it will make all the difference in my students school experience.

I am a teacher in New York City.

My students are the sweetest kids you would ever meet. They love school, playing at recess and making new friends. Most of my students live in shelters and come from a broken home. Their family life is not easy and sometimes they don't know where they will be from one day to the next. The only real consistency they have is school and their teacher and classmates. Despite the home life they deal with, my students want to be in school and they want to learn. I want to make their experience in first grade a memorable one. Having these materials will make learning fun and enjoyable for my students.

My Project

I am asking for floor puzzles, reading games, listening center activities, play dough and building bricks. With these resources my students will be able to improve their reading, writing and phonics skills. They will learn how to work cooperatively with each other, learn how to share and develop their social skills. My students will have fun learning the basic skills they need in order to be successful throughout their educational life. Through play they will learn how to be social, conflict resolution and how to express themselves verbally and artistically as well.

Your donation will help improve the lives of each of my students.

If my students develop a love of learning they will want to learn and come to school. In the end this will give my students the chance they need to succeed in life. It all starts with your donation and belief that these kids deserve a chance at a better life. Will you help make a difference?
