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

We are a Pre-kindergarten program located in the South Bronx, within one of its poorest community districts. Our program works with mostly temporary housing and low-income families, so homelessness is a real concern to us all. The Pre-K program is an essential component of our community. It provides young children the opportunity to gain a solid foundation for which all other academic and social development will occur.

We are a very culturally and socially diverse community of educators who strive daily to create and maintain an environment that supports the essential needs of our young students.

So creating a highly diverse classroom atmosphere is challenging, but will always be the driving force behind our dedication. My Pre-Kindergarten team is constantly seeking activities that focus on getting the children to use their imagination and allow open-ended questions to fuel their quest for knowledge. We also have to ensure their physical needs are being met as well.

As their teachers, it is our job to support our students in a way that their education is not being hindered by just what we know, but is being fostered by activities and experiences that are fueled by their own need to understand the world.

My Project

Have you ever played in the rain or enjoyed a snow-filled day? I know I sure have and had lots and lots of fun! Well, the rainy, snowy season is upon us once again! Most of our Preschoolers have to walk to school and from with their families every day. Many of them do not have protective outer gear that ensures that they stay safe, warm, and dry. This sometimes creates a situation for parents to decide if their little ones will attend a school or have to stay home on those rainy snowy days. The Disney and DC Comic raincoat (slickers) and umbrellas can ensure parents have one less thing to interfere in their child's educational development and you can help!

Your donations to this project will ensure that our little ones can actually enjoy the always-changing, seasonal weather patterns that we experience on the East coast, without their families having to worry about their little ones getting sick and your donations will be supporting a wonderful cause to help keep our Preschoolers coming to school no matter the inclimate weather.

We are incredibly thankful for the individuals and companies that support the Donor Choose Organization in helping teachers get what they need for their students and families. You are making a difference in the lives of so many and we want to thank you for all that you do in bringing our projects to life!
