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

Dear donors,

Our classroom will soon be filled with excited new Kindergarten students but as teachers, we know that students need hands-on learning opportunities, especially in the first weeks of school.

With your support, we will create a playdough learning center where students build important letter and number knowledge and key phonemic awareness skills. This learning center will give students a head start on foundational skills in math and literacy and motivate our students to engage in fine motor activities in a fun and educational way.

Thank you so much for your help!

Ms. IKELER PS 18 Edward Bush Grades PreK-2
