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

Our students are coming from low-income housing in a Title I school. My kindergarten students (virtually and in-person )are entering kindergarten and have various disabilities. They are underprivileged scholars who need some basic supplies to start off the school year at home and or in school with success. Let's ignite their love for learning.

My Project

As we start to return to school, we do so under extraordinary circumstances with COVID-19. We need your help to ensure the best possible experience for our class! There is so much that goes into preparing my kindergarten classroom so that my students have the best academic, social, and emotional experience. With our new list of needs and requirements in light of COVID-19, there is a new need for materials and supplies for both in-person and remote learning.

As we return to school our supplies will look quite different this year.

We want our students to be organized no matter what they’re doing. The teachers pay teachers gift card will enable us to provide materials for students within the classroom and at home. Our goal is for all of the students to have their own supplies. Therefore, the lap boards will enable us to do that since we do not have enough for each child. In an effort to keep everyone safe, the hand sanitizer is a must-have for all!

Whether we are in school or remote these materials will help students throughout their kindergarten experience. Our students will have their own set of pencils, crayons, and folders that will be needed all year long. Finally, the multicultural books chosen can be read to the students whether they are in the classroom or apart of a google meet.

Your generous donation will enable our scholars to be successful even through this difficult time for all of us. As teachers, we are determined to provide our students with a place where they can still learn safely and completely, and you can help get us there! While they won't always be in school for a lesson, the same resources can be provided to them at home!
