Classroom Basics in a Backpack

Help me give my students Ready for Preschool Backpacks so they can develop their school readiness skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Villasenor's classroom raised $947

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 prekindergarten students are very curious and enthusiastic! They enter my classroom every day excited and eager to learn. They are constantly asking questions, making discoveries, and trying to make sense of the world around them.

My prekindergarten students attend a Title I school in a large urban district.

All of the students at the school qualify for the Federal Free Lunch Program. The students are predominately Latino and the majority of them are English Language Learners. Despite their disadvantaged background, my students are enthusiastic children who enter my classroom every day ready to learn.

My Project

Due to school closures caused by the pandemic, my students will not have access to many learning materials we have in our classroom. Providing each student with a Ready for Preschool Backpack will give them everything they will need to prepare them for a successful school year. Included in each backpack is a nursery rhyme book so my young learners can develop their oral language skills. The backpack also has alphabet cards, counting bears, and a ball so students can develop their math, early literacy and gross motor skills. It also includes a calendar with activities my students can complete with their parents. Working with the materials in this backpack, my students will also develop their social-emotional skills. They will have the tools necessary to feel competent, successful and motivated to continue learning during these uncertain times.
