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 a Pre-K teacher and I need help with providing my students with the most engaging ways to help them learn. I have over 70 students who are from low-income and migrant families.
Many of my students are stepping into the classroom for the first time.
I will be reading my students many books and what better way to picture a story than on a felt board? Students will be able to tell a story using felt pieces of the story and engage with their classmates.
Help me help my students gain a love for learning!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
