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 first grade in a Title I funded, public school in a low-income area of the Bronx where over 100% of our students receive free lunch. Although many of my students face adversity, their challenges do not define their ability to learn and be successful. I teach sixteen of the sweetest and most eager six-year-olds. Their desire to learn despite all the obstacles they face is so inspiring.

My Project

My students have been through so much due to the pandemic and I wanted to do something special for each of them. I want to make sure that each student receives a gift for the Holidays. I want to provide each child's household with a board game that they could play together with their family. The holidays can be such a difficult time of each for families, especially in a pandemic. However, this gift can make a huge difference for them.

Help me bring joy to my students by providing them with engaging games and fun toys that can put a big smile on their faces.

It would be mean so much to me if I could provide my students with games and toys that could enhance their social skills. It will help get my students off their i-pads and get them interacting with their family members. In addition, to build social skills, communication skills and fine motor skills with play dough, students will be having fun. This project can make a big difference in the eyes on my students and would not only bring them joy but bring me joy as well.
