Family Diversity

My students need multi-ethnic and diverse ability dolls that reflect their diversity and that reflected in society.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mendivil's classroom raised $210

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.

I teach Hispanic/Latino immigrant and African American students from varied mixed-background families in an urban public school. Our school community also has various special needs students and family members.

My first grade students are eager to role play family situations and learn about people from other countries and cultures. The dolls and other resources currently available to my students do not represent their ethnic backgrounds nor those of other diverse communities and varied ability groups.

My students need a complete set of the 5 Block Family Play Dolls that represent all the various communities (White Family, African American Family, Hispanic/Latino Family, Asian Family, and Native American Family) that make up our country, our varied ability groups (Diverse Abilities Dolls set) and also a Children Around the World Doll set that represents our heritage as an nation built upon the contributions of immigrants from around the World. These dolls will be used throughout the school year when children learn about their Families, our Neighborhoods, Workers, Journeys Around the World and Special Holidays/Americans such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Chinese New Year, Cinco de Mayo, etc.

Your generous donation to purchase these 7 diverse sets of dolls will help ensure my First Grade students are able to play with figures that represent them and enrich their view of what being American is in the 21st Century.
