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 teach a vibrant and curious group of kindergarten students in a low-income community where resources are often limited, but the desire to learn is boundless. My students thrive when given hands-on opportunities to explore and engage with their learning, but we lack the necessary materials to create effective math and literacy centers.

With donations, we could create a dynamic, resource-rich environment where every child has the opportunity to grow academically, explore their curiosity, and build confidence in their learning journey.

Your support would make a world of difference in equipping our classroom for success with items including phonics games, sorting, and sequencing activities.
