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 kindergarten students love to read! They read all day long across the content areas. The reading center is a favorite of the children. They get to read with and to their stuffed animal "friends". They are all striving to reach a level D by the end of the year and I think fun reading helps!

My students are eager learners.

They come from a very diverse background but are mostly from lower socioeconomic families. Don't tell them that though! They come to school happy and hungry for new ideas! My students are lively and energetic thinkers. They love to learn about new people, places, and things. My school has about 425 children from preschool through 5th grade. We have about 75 kindergarteners in three kindergarten classes. There are three sections at each grade level through 3rd grade and two (for now) at the others. We continue to be a growing community each year.

My Project

My students will be able to read all day long in comfort with a buddy or a stuffed animal "friend". They will be excited by the inviting colors and cheeriness of having new furniture to do such a beloved activity as reading. Right now the reading center consists of carpet squares and some kid sized camping chairs (I have had to repair at least twice a month). I can't wait to see their ecstatic smiles and their renewed love for the reading center when they see the new furniture!

This donation will help children in my room maintain a love for reading and have fond memories of their early experiences with books.

My goal is to create lifelong readers. A "comfortable" foundation will make a huge difference in the enjoyment level experiencing books!
