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 18 kindergarten students are eager to learn and enjoy stories read to them and in need of having the necessary tools readily available to them to write about their stories as they continue learning from home. They come from a low socioeconomic background and in most cases come from homes where parents do not read to them, or do not have the means to access technology. My students live in an impoverished community in East Los Angeles. My students are from predominantly Latino backgrounds. They range from newly arrived immigrants to third-generation immigrants. I have students that do not have adequate resources to keep learning from home. The students that I work with are receiving free school lunches. Despite the challenges my students face, they are happy children who want to learn.

My Project

Please help me in giving my students the much needed tools to continue learning from home during these very challenging times of Distance Learning due to the pandemic. My kindergarten students are eager to learn, and need the supplies I am asking for, to help them with their writing at home. The kindergarten students will benefit from using the dry erase boards and markers to help them with letter formation, as they learn the letters of the alphabet eventually words and sentences. The students will also use the notebooks, pencils, and markers to write about their experiences at home and the stories we are reading.
