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

As a pre-k teacher, I am very aware that many of my students are attending school for the very first time. Because of this, I try to create a welcoming environment where all students feel welcome. Despite any obstacles they may face, all of my students are eager and ready to learn. I hope to give all of my students an amazing first year of school full of growth, fun, and learning!

I work in a Title 1 school, where many of my students receive free or reduced breakfast and lunch.

This is especially important for pre-k students because they eat breakfast and lunch in the classroom with their fellow classmates. This allows the students and myself to eat family style, and create bonds with their classmates, while feeling safe in their class environment.

My Project

In my pre-k classroom, the students will be eating breakfast and lunch together. This is meant to encourage family style eating, and also for the students to bond. Some of my students live in shelters, and depend on the school provided breakfast and lunch for their daily meals. My students are three and four years old, and naturally crumbs will be dropped on the floor.

With the help of DonorsChoose.org, this vacuum would be used multiple times daily to help keep our classroom clean.

Additionally, some of my students suffer from asthma, and this vacuum would ideally help to alleviate some of the breathing issues that they may face.

I would use the vacuum to clean up after the students after their meals, but I also use it to vacuum the carpets in my classroom to eliminate the dust that lingers in the classroom, which would be especially helpful for my asthma-prone students.
