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! I teach Pre-K. Many of my wonderful Pre-K students come from very low-income homes. Many of the parents are unable to provide their children with several of the necessary supplies. Due to the low-income status of several of the parents, I buy the children pencils, treats, and stickers to aid and encourage them in their learning. In addition to this being my first full year teaching Pre-K, my eager-to-learn students would greatly benefit from a variety of materials to further their learning, expose them to engaging and new materials, and ultimately enhance their love for school.

My students are caring, witty, and creative, and I want to continue enhancing these terrific attributes by providing them with the best resources.

Thanks you!

My Project

If I am fortunate to receive the technology I requested, it will be put to good use in my Pre-K classroom! The color printer and laminating machine will be magnificent tools to create and print letter-games in color for my curious students. The microphone will be a terrific addition to my classroom for both the students and me. We will be able to practice educational songs, do letter trivia games, and much, much more. It will also help a lot since I suffer from throat issues. Any device to further project my voice comes in handy. I really strive for my students to learn as much as they can and provide them with a fun learning experience every day!
