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 Students

We are half poverty, high need population in northern California. Our school has no extra funds; we are without many things. Kindergarten is a time to explore and realize who you are who you would want to be and to feel safe. Unfortunately, almost 40% or more of my students are without many supplies.

As a teacher, there is so much I can do, and there is nothing at times I can do.

This is why we need your help. These children are so thankful, so wonderful and all they need is someone to believe in them. Therapeutic play can serve in individual growth purposes. In childhood, the therapeutic play serves both social and personal function. Children who have had traumatic experiences can work out their demons encountered by their childhood experience as well as many challenges and anticipations of the future. My students come from a variety of backgrounds and countries. I am so lucky to be their teacher.

My Project

My students need basic supplies. I cannot afford to buy such supplies for my class or the play materials, art supplies and binders, and the other plethora of supplies needed to run my classroom nor can my school. With our outdated classroom and no books at all, these wonderful supplies will be a welcome to my room and the kindergartners will thank you too! The impact will help my students strive and grow into the learners they were meant to be. Thank you so much for giving your time or donation even if it is 10 dollars. We need altruistic people like you in our schools! This will be very powerful for my kindergarten classroom.
