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

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 your help, you can give them the basic tools necessary to ensure that the children have a successful school year.

My Project

Playing with dolls provides great opportunity for students to develop their social skills. When young children are presented with dolls, they learn how to take responsibility by pretending to take care of someone other than themselves. It makes them completely aware of the needs and wants of others.

Having dolls in the dramatic play area is also a great way create meaningful conversations.

The dramatic play area helps develop a child’s imagination as they encounter creative, imagined scenarios with their dolls and their peers.

With your donation of dolls and accessories, my students will be able to have meaningful experiences in the dramatic play area. This will help them develop into becoming empathetic and compassionate little people.
