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

This September I will be teaching in a self-contained classroom for kindergarten and first grade students with special needs. My students will come to me from diverse backgrounds, and with different experiences. Being a public school in New York City, we are lucky to have many cultures and backgrounds within our school. We are a Title I school of about 950 children.

My kiddos face learning challenges as well as life challenges, and it is my goal and deepest hope that they come into a classroom where they feel welcomed, cared for, safe, and at home.

Kindergarten and first grade are foundational years, and they are all about exploring and learning, becoming readers, writers, and mathematicians. However, for my students, these years must also be about playing and learning how to be a friend and a good person.

My Project

My special students need to start their educational lives on the right foot. Through your generous support and help, they will have access to materials to help with fine and gross motor skills, and be able to build and construct different objects using their creativity and imagination. At the end of each school day we'll become engineers while exploring the magnetic gears, cardboard blocks, architect set, sensory ball set, tactile numbers, and fine motor jars from this project. During this time my students will not only be building the aforementioned skills, but they will also build upon their social/emotional growth. The seating and emoji decorative materials such as borders will ensure that they walk into a classroom that is inviting, fun, and ready for them. The emoji materials will be placed in a "cool down corner" for kiddos who may need a break or are struggling to be part of the group at a given time. The laminator and hole punch will be used for daily student schedules.

This project will change my students' lives for the better.

They will learn to love school at an early age, and have fun while learning. They will be in a classroom that welcomes them and supports their specific needs. Your donation to this project will improve our K/1 classroom by building stronger students.
