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

We are reaching out to request your support for our pre-K classroom, which serves 30 young learners. To foster their early literacy and writing skills, we need phonics games that focus on rhyming, beginning sounds, and alphabet sounds. These interactive games will engage students and help them build a strong foundation in language development.

Additionally, we would greatly benefit from materials that allow students to trace letters and numbers, providing hands-on opportunities for practicing writing.

To further enhance their learning, we are also in need of dry erase lap boards with markers and erasers. These tools will enable students to practice writing and drawing in a fun and effective way.

Your donation will make a significant impact on their education and help us create meaningful learning experiences for each child. We truly appreciate your consideration and support.
