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

Hello everyone! I am a proud, preschool, special education teacher in an inclusive setting, with a total of 21 students. Collaborating with the state preschool has helped my students grow. All of my students come from low-income backgrounds, are eager to learn, and have the right to equitable learning opportunities that help them achieve their full potential. In preschool, we learn through play which makes learning that much more engaging.

My Project

Hello amazing Donors, this project is very important to our class and it will make a difference in many different ways. We know that reading to young children has been proven to improve their cognitive skills and as well as help with their cognitive development process. By exposing them to read at an early age, it essentially provides them with background knowledge on what they see, hear and read. These materials will help me make reading more fun for them and will help them be ready for kinder with higher knowledge in vocabulary, word recognition, comprehension, and fluency.
