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 hope when you read this you are in the best of health. I'm asking for help for our end of the year celebration as well as for our moving up ceremony. It was a wonderful year for me as well as my students.

I would love to send them off with a nice end of the year carnival in celebration of their academic year.Many have come with no prior knowledge and are leaving speaking English as well as their native language.

This is so inspiring how resilient they are and how they are able to come in and absorb everything they are being taught with a smile on their little faces. I can only hope they will continue to enjoy learning as much as they did this school year. As for their moving up ceremony I found Inside Out to be wonderful because when they start school for the first time they go through so many different emotions as in feeling scared, sad to have to leave the comforts of their homes. Then they may even feel anger then as time goes by feeling happy and confident. With your help I can get posters, balloons party favors to decorate my auditorium so I can send them off to Kindergarten with wonderful memories of Pre-K. I also asked for some snacks for the carnival as well as some balloons.Thank you in advance
