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 first graders are little people full of energy and enthusiasm to learn each day! They are curious and willing to try new things. Unfortunately due to their economic status and neighborhood they live in, their opportunities to try new things are limited.

They live in a high-poverty community where they struggle to get their needs met and most of the time their educational needs are put aside.

They deserve a high-quality education and classroom. They deserve to get all the supplies and resources to foster their learning each day.

My Project

My students are back from learning remotely! We have a lot of ground to cover this new school year! I would like to give them headphones so they can hear stories in our listening center. They love books and listening to stories. The listening center helps their literacy skills, by visualizing what they hear and learning to read while they are there.

The easel will help them visualize all the skills we learn throughout the day.

We love to learn on the rug all together, so the easel will be perfect for all students to feel involved. No one would feel left out and it will increase participation! These donations will make a big difference in how they learn.
