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 teach both preschool and high school students... and I love it! I guess you can say I get the best of both worlds. In the morning we have 3 and 4 year old students that come to our high school to be part of a preschool learning environment. My high school students are considered student teachers. They are interested in pursuing careers working with children after graduation. They work with the 3 and 4 year old students in the morning during our lab.
The materials that we are requesting would be used on a daily basis.
The modeling clay will be used on a daily basis in our play-doh center. The copy paper and laminating pouches will be used to create math, reading and science center games.
Nearly all 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
