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

The majority of my students are mainly ESOL (English as a second language). Their parents are mainly immigrants from Hispanic countries such as Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, and Nicaragua. A part of our daily schedule is rest time. We do not have cots for them to rest on. They bring a blanket from home and lay on the floor with it. This is not hygienic nor is it comfortable. It would be great if you could support my class so that these students are able to rest better which would allow them optimal learning throughout the rest of their school day.

My Project

By providing mats for my pre-k students they will have a clean and comfortable area to relax on during rest time. They will be able to get the rest they need so that they are able to participate and assimilate the activities provided for them during their busy day. We all know that children will learn better and have a better disposition when provided the opportunity to rest during their school day. This is part of the pre-k curriculum and Vpk school day schedule. Let's make their day a great one by provide a warm and cozy place for them.
