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

Our Kindergarteners are curious, enthusiastic, and full of potential. Each one brings a unique set of strengths and experiences to the classroom, making for a dynamic and diverse group. Our ICT class is made up of students with disabilities and English language learners. As they navigate the early years of school, they also face challenges such as developing emotional regulation and learning to navigate social interactions with peers.

By donating to our project you can impact our students’ learning by offering them a more engaging, comfortable, and supportive classroom environment.

Kindergarten sets the stage for the rest of a child’s educational journey. It’s where children develop the skills and mindsets they need to succeed in school and beyond. Ultimately, this project will help create a classroom environment where students feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn.
