Goodbye Pre-K: Let's Get Ready for Kindergarten

Help me give my students some awesome books to get them ready for Kindergarten

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Padilla's classroom raised $462

This project is fully funded

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

My pre-k students are so genuinely curious to learn, they ask so many inquisitive questions on every subject we discuss. Their love of learning inspires me to make every moment for them a teachable moment even when I am not with them.

Now that we are coming to the end of our school year I don't want their curiosity to stop.

These resources will keep their learning going over the summer and help them and their families prepare for Kindergarten.

I hope the books will inspire them to do their best and know that they can do great things in the future.

Ms. Padilla PS 28 Wright Brothers Grades PreK-2
