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

Hello Donors! I am a first year Speech Language Pathologist. My students range from pre-K through eighth grade. My students are bright children and are unique in their needs. Each of my students require individualized therapy session requiring LOTS of materials.

My Project

These materials will allow me to create fun and engaging therapy sessions that stimulate language growth and development! My students lack in the areas of communication, and having these toys and materials would allow me to build a rapport with my students and encourage them to advocate for themselves. The Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards will allow me to purchase more lessons for my older students that are engaging and fun. The play kitchen, car tower, farm animals and other toys would keep my little ones focused.

Having the chance to make a child believe school is fun is what keeps them wanting to learn more!

These toys and books will be used to service my students for years to come! Thank you so much for your time!
