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 kiddos are exceptional students who are curious about the world around them. My students love to change up the pace during the day and they enjoy getting really creative with new things. Many of my students face challenges in their personal lives but still come to school daily ready to learn and do their very best.

Being 5 years old and starting school comes with many challenges, especially during this uncertain time.

For a kindergartener, this is already a very scary time and on top of everything else going on in the world right now, it is so important I can provide my students with the resources and tools they will need to thrive as new learners.

I have been a teacher for 7 years now and have loved every second of it. Unfortunately, many of the things I use have been bought out of my own pocket or donated to me from previous educators. Donors Choose.org has helped me receive more of what I need without having to spend my own money on these projects for my kiddos.

My Project

All the books, all the fun! For this project, I am hoping to receive materials to help my students become readers! My kindergarten students need a lot of repetition, a lot of games, and a lot of encouragement when it comes to learning how to read. They all have different strengths, so the more tools I have for them to practice with, the easier it becomes to help them develop the foundational skills it requires to be a proficient reader.

My kindergarteners are excited to read!

The more I can do to keep things interesting, the better. I am asking for flash cards, games, magnetic letters, and beginner readers. Flash cards help build automaticity and allow me to do quick drills daily. Games and manipulative tools like magnetic letters contribute to whole brain teaching by allowing students a kinesthetic and visual way to interact with their learning. Beginner reader books will allow my students to physically hold a book and practice reading at a level they can be successful at.

Students will have a bigger opportunity to use more tools in the classroom as I guide them to their end of year goals and set them up for success as future readers. Please consider donating to our classroom this year!
