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

Kindergarten is a fundamental introduction to education. Through the last year and a half, the Las Vegas economy was hit hard with tourism becoming extinct. 90% of my classroom qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch and weekend food aid. These families have truly struggled through this pandemic to make our students' education a priority when they are fighting poverty. I am so thankful that we are able to provide the resources for students to excel in and out of the classroom.

My Kindergarten class is VegasStrong!

These students are actively striving to become engaged learners. These little ones have spent most of their young lives in a quarantine world but they are doing everything possible to take advantage of the time they have lost. We spend a lot of time working on social-emotional awareness to make up for all of the face-to-face time they missed out on. Help us create our leaders of tomorrow!

My Project

I am requesting letter boards, games to improve literacy, number counting manipulatives, behavior charts, fidget toys for emotional growth, a bean bag for quiet corner, grade level books to take home, and chair organizers. Some of these tools are to help with social-emotional learning so that we are able to digest difficult feelings and be able to focus on educational enrichment. The standards I will target through the use of the requested materials are:

K.CC.A.3 Write numbers from 0 to 20.

Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20.

K.CC.B.5 Count to answer "how many?" questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1-20, count out that many objects.

K.CC.C.6 Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies.

L.K.2.c Write a letter or letters for most consonant and short-vowel sounds (phonemes).

L.K.2.d Spell simple words phonetically, drawing on knowledge of sound-letter relationships.

L.K.1.a Print many upper- and lowercase letters.
