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

My students are a unique diverse group. This is the first time in school for most of my children and about 90 percent of the class are Spanish speaking and of different Hispanic backgrounds. Culture and language play a large role for my students in the way they connect.

Most of my students come from low income migrant families, in need of services and help.

Due to the pandemic many aren't receiving the financial help needed for their families.

My Project

Our classroom is in need of a printer. We try to provide pictures of places, foods and clothing from each others cultures around our room and a printer will help. Also as a Pre-K Classroom everything in the class must be labeled and we post our site words on our Word Wall. These are just a few things that a printer will help us with.

Also, some of the other items are necessities for a Pre-K Classroom.

I want my students to have a full and enriched experience and have all the materials needed that any other Pre-K class would have so they can have a equal opportunity to prosper and learn.
