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

I'm thrilled to share that our school year is going well and I am fortunate to have such wonderful special education preschool students in our newly established classroom this year! As we reach the middle of the school year, my students are bubbling with excitement to dive into new discoveries and knowledge. I want to cultivate new learning experiences and providing materials that are easily accessible and safe for them.

Help me give my students a sturdy child-friendly shelf for them to safely access toys and materials for their exploration and learning.

We are temporarily using office metal shelves to hold for some of our play area toys and materials.

To ensure they continue to have a safe and easy access to toys and materials for their exploration and learning, I am in need of sturdy, child-friendly large shelves. The shelves already have a "home" as I already know exactly where to put it in the classroom and I can't wait to set up the shelves with all sorts of materials to help kids learn about shapes, colors, labeling, and problem-solving. I truly need your support to make this possible.
