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

My students come from low-income families and are always so appreciative of everything and I know they would be so excited to see some of our classroom areas given a new life.

Keeping a classroom clean and organized is an essential part of a safe preschool environment for children.

I would like to add a new storage unit to make some of the learning materials more organized and accessible to the students, as the new step stool will allow me to safely access the materials stored in the closet. New toys like blocks and manipulatives throughout the different areas will ignite the students' interest in learning. The laminating machines and cardstock will allow for easy and long-lasting labeling of materials as well as creating teaching resources in Spanish. Lastly, we are in need of cleaning supplies to keep our classroom nice and clean throughout the day. I want my students to wake up in the morning and be excited to come to school. Your help and generosity will help make our classroom a more inviting place for our children to learn.
