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 Project

We are in need of new building blocks for our students. The ones that we currently have are 20 years old and they are worn out. The students deserve new blocks to build and play with. With your help, we can give them that experience.

Our blocks are splintering and in need of replacement so the students can play and build to explore and learn about shapes and spatial concepts.

Our students are 3 years old, and they need blocks to learn many different concepts. We are asking for a new set of wooden blocks, a shelf for storage, labels, and accessories to engage their interactive play. Please help us get these materials into our classroom and into the hands of our little learners.

Mrs. L. Donald Stewart ECC 51 Grades PreK-2
