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
This summer, I’m creating take-home activity kits to keep my students learning, engaged, and having fun. To help prevent the “summer slide,” each child will receive a thoughtfully curated kit filled with books, toys, and creative tools that support literacy, imagination, and emotional growth. Items include the Elephant and Piggie book collection to encourage early reading, Kindness is My Superpower to foster empathy and social skills, mini magnetic drawing boards to promote creativity, bubble bottles for sensory play, and beach pail and shovel sets to encourage outdoor exploration.
My goal is to give every student access to joyful, hands-on learning experiences during the summer months.
These resources help bridge the learning gap and keep kids excited about reading and discovery even when school is out. Your support makes it possible to send each child home with tools that not only entertain but also support their development.
My students are special because they are curious, full of energy, and eager to learn—even when resources are limited. Many come from low-income households and don’t have access to books or enrichment activities outside of school. These kits help level the playing field and remind every child that they are seen, supported, and capable of amazing things.
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
