Celebrating 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
For most of my children, this is their first experience being away from home and being separated from their families. Being away from home is difficult for most students but compounded with the pandemic, it can be a traumatic experience, none the less they come to school each day, full of energy, curiosity, excited to be here, and ready to learn and play! To them, school is a place where they feel safe, loved, and valued. This difficult transition is also affected by their already existing life circumstances.
100% of our children come from low-income households and receive free breakfast and lunch.
With the right help, you can help make them feel as if their classroom is their home away from home and inspire a life-long love for learning.
My Project
Our youngest learners might not be able to read and write in the beginning of the year, but they still have a need to express themselves. Through their paintings and drawings, children express their thoughts, ideas, and emotions while having fun!
Art materials like paints, paintbrushes, and paper are essential in a Pre-K classroom because it helps children develop 21st-century skills like communication, critical-thinking skills, and creativity as well as reading and writing skills in a fun and engaging way.
When children are painting, they are developing fine motor skills as they grasp the paintbrushes, critical thinking as they make a mental plan of their paintings, math skills as they create shapes, and language skills as they describe and share their artwork. Children learn best when they use their imagination.
By donating to our project, you are not only helping our children become our future Picassos but helping them prepare for kindergarten.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
