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

Most of my students live in a neighborhood that is predominately Hispanic and about eighty-five percent of the students who attend preschool are from low-income families.

While the programs strives to provide the students with the learning experiences to growth and develop, some preschoolers get easily agitated and upset while in school away from their parents.

This is where I want to step in and provide a safe place so they can calm down to participate and engage in the classroom activities.

My Project

For some of my four year old students this is the first time they are separating from their parents. This makes them feel insecure and fearful as they adapt to the new environment.

As more students will join my preschool classroom, I want to provide to my students with the Quiet Time Privacy Cube so they can have a special place where they can go to calm using Sensory Toy for Relaxation and the Toysmith Spiral Mystical Glitter Wand, listening to quiet music with the Boombox, looking at the quiet book or express themselves through painting but I do not have a drying rack where they can place their creations while they dry.

By donating to my project, the students will be able to calm themselves in order to participate and engage with their peers.
