Celebrating 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
My students come in at just 3 and 4 years of age, at the beginning of the school year. I teach Pre-K at a title 1 school in the South Bronx. My students are loving, engaging and deserve an amazing first year of school.
Our principal, the teachers, and the entire school community have turned our school from a "failing" school into a school on the rise.
Many of my our students come from incredibly challenging homes. One hundred percent of the school receives free lunch, and many of our students live in homeless shelters, foster homes, etc. Our school runs a food pantry for our families and also provides many students with backpacks filled with supplies. Despite these challenges, my students love to learn. This year is coming back to school will be challenging enough for our students, help us fund these materials so we can make this school year as great as we can!
My Project
My students deserve the best! My students need hands on materials such as the ones below to engage them in learning. Hands on materials help students increase language and socialization with their peers. These materials will help them grow as learners and will help keep them engaged and active. Science materials teach students about the world around them, and art materials help students create wonderful works of art they can be proud of. I want my students to come to school ready to learn and participate, and be proud of where they go to school!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
