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.

My Project

My classroom is full of 28 energetic preschoolers who work hard and play hard every day

I have an integrated classroom of typical and special needs students, in a low-income city.

My students are 3 and 4 years old, and this is their first experience in a public school.

Our classroom doesn't have working air conditioner and our class temperature climbs up to 88 degrees during the months of August and September. As soon as spring comes the temperatures in my class rise. My students wear masks which adds to them feeling uncomfortable in the warm classroom. We really would appreciate a window air conditioner to help cool off the room.

My students this year and years to come will surely appreciate a cool classroom to play in, to do artwork in, read, and dance!

Thank you so much for donating to my students.
