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.

I am a kindergarten teacher in a Chicago Public School. Ninety-three percent of the students are considered low-income and receive free/reduced lunches. 10% of the population is considered Limited English Proficient. I am the teacher of a classroom that includes special education students along with the general education students. There are over 25 children in my morning and afternoon classes.

It is a rewarding, challenging and fun classroom. There are no funds available to purchase necessary materials for my reading centers. I have been fortunate to receive some materials from Donorschoose.org in the past. These same materials have proved to be quite popular and beneficial to the regular education, special eduation and ESL students. The magnetic mazes are amazing. The children love them. The number of students in my class has increased this year and I don't have enough materials for all of the children to participate at reading center time.

The popular and sought after magnetic mazes help the students to improve their eye-hand coordination, letter, color and color word recognition. It will also help to keep the peace in the kindergarten. The wipe and write alphabet cards would be another sought after center that would benefit the kindergartenrs by increasing their knowledge of the alphabet, letter-sound correspondence, and words that can be printed from the picture on the alphabet cards

Your help will ensure that my students will have enough beneficial and fun materials at reading center time. The children will improve their eye-hand coordination and recognize letter, colors and color words. They will also practice printing the alphabet and words from a picture.
