Celebrating 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
I teach in an ETK (Expanded Transitional Kindergarten) Preschool program which is a full-day program for 24 students. My enthusiastic PreK learners come to school ready to learn, build language, and explore. It is a program that introduces preschool age students (ages 4-5) to a public school setting. I teach at a Title I school in a small suburb outside of a major city.
Most of my students either have not attended any preschool program or only attended a 2-3 hour a day program.
The ETK program allows parents who work to have a quality preschool program for six hours each day with a credentialed teacher. We offer free breakfast and lunch to all students. Many students have siblings at our school so it makes it easy for parents to drop off and pick up children.
My Project
Our tricycles and other outdoor play equipment were left outside and have been stolen. We need a secure space so we can lock them up at the end of the school day and protect them from the elements, which will enable them to last longer. An outdoor shed would be a perfect solution to ensure their longevity.
A donation of this project will enable my students to have access to outdoor play equipment without the threat of them being stolen.
Our tricycles have been stolen in the past and as a result, we have to lock them up with a heavy chain, which makes accessing them difficult. A shed will allow us to conveniently store them in order to keep them safe and enable their longevity. Outdoor play is crucial for energetic preschoolers who require a lot of time to ride and exercise. We have a small playground with little shade, so a shed will protect all our outdoor equipment from the intense heat that hits L.A. often.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
