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, 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 varied of backgrounds and countries, I am so lucky be their teacher.
My Project
I asked the students certain things they wanted to study this year and they all said insects ! We want to order a these insects incased in plastic so the class can get an up close view of real insects. We will set it up in our room. We want also besides the insect kits we will read insects books that correlate with the various insects we receive to examine. We always are learning the "BIG IDEA" in science from our teacher and she is teaching us Systems and Orders in this unit. We will be able to collect data and share it with our friends and begin our way to being the smart little scientists we are!
Your donation no matter how small will help this amazing little kindergarten scientist become intellectual and empowered.
I am so honored to know of this DonorsChoose.org website! People like you can make a difference. With one small stroke of random act of kindness you can change the world if not one little child at a time. Thank you for looking! Peace and science Ms. M.
