Literacy Fun in Prekindergarten

Help me give my students materials to be excited about literacy in prekindergarten by having fun in reading, storytelling, practicing motor skills, talking, singing and writing. By early practicing these skills they can be successful at school.

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

I teach in a public school, we are a title I school, although we have already some resources we are always in need of more challenging and engaging new materials and resources.

My early-scholars in PK are full of ideas, creativity, energy, love, they enjoy working as a team building, imaging, acting playing, drawing, writing as a part of our school day.

Your donation will allow my early-scholars to develop social and emotional skills, fosters creativity and imagination, and finally to encourages language skills so needed in PK.

My Project

My little precious scholars are ready to experience the excitement of reading their favorite books with a friend and being able to express themselves by sharing with friends by singing or writing.

Literacy is much more than reading and writing, it is about developing skills that one day will help kids to be successful in their personal and professional life.

Each one of these books and materials will be the key to make reading, speaking, writing possible in prekindergarten. It is hard for students to read if they do not have their favorite books. If students don't enjoy writing, they don't get excited about expressing themselves. Help me get my students excited about reading and writing.

Thank you for considering funding this project.
