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 Project

This is my first year teaching in my own classroom and all the students attending this center come from low-income families. I am super excited about teaching little minds in Pre-K. It is my pleasure to help these little minds get ready for college.

Please help me and my students have a successful and fun year of learning.

I am asking for these social-emotional toys to help students regulate their feelings and emotions during the most important years of their lives. Literacy is very important, especially at this age. My students love new books, as it makes learning more fun and engaging! I want my students to be happy, healthy, and safe in their school environment, so I want each of them to have their own new, clean, storage boxes for their extra clothes as well as age-appropriate chairs.

Every donation will be kindly appreciated, I appreciate your support so much; thank you for helping me help my students!
