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

Help me give my students a new classroom environment where they can feel safe and secure by making it look and feel a bit like home. That is why I would like the new Lakeshore Easy-Clean Comfy Chair - so they can have a place to sit and decompress through out the long day.

I will be starting the next school year sharing a class with a special needs students and general ed students.

We can all benefit from all the learning toys I am asking for here. At UTK they learn through play so it is very important to have learning toys to keep them busy throughout the day.

Starting a new classroom is always expensive and difficult on the teacher. Please help by funding my request to this project so we can start off the year in blast with a wonderful and exciting classroom. Help me make it a happy, exciting environment for my students as they learn.

Over all early childhood development needs to be exposed to many meaningful experiences through play to learn social emotional learning and develop their language, Math skills by exposing them to a rich environment where they can feel safe to play and learn through exploration.

Please fund my project in which it will provide them with plenty of manipulatives and furniture for a rich environment where they will excel and grow in all areas.
