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

I am writing to request support in securing supplies for our ESN preschool classroom. My goal is to create a fun, safe and educational experience for my students.

These supplies help foster creativity, fine motor skills, cognitive development, and sensory exploration for my young students.

Our classroom is a vibrant and engaging learning space where our little ones explore, discover, and grow. However in order to provide the best possible educational experience for our students we are in need of some essential supplies. I kindly ask for any donations you may be able to provide. This resources will enhance our curriculum and allow us to create interactive learning activities.

Many of the materials I am requesting are mainly to fulfil sensory needs of our students, such as sensory bins, kinetic sand, toys and fidgets. I am also asking for a crash pad to provide students safe place to lay on and relax.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.
