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 consists of children with disabilities ages 3-5 years old and there are times when they run out of pull-ups and wipes. I’m hoping to get these items through this project to use during such times to keep them dry and clean. In addition, the disinfectant wipes will help me continue to provide a healthy environment and decrease the spread of illnesses which will lessen absences. Many of my students are still learning to not mouth on toys, cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze, and wash their hands frequently. When they are sick, it often takes them longer to get better, which takes away from their learning.

We are also in need of a replacement trampoline cover as the one we have is broken and unable to be sanitized as it is no longer impermeable.

The children in my care learn best when they get frequent movement breaks. The floor chairs allow the teachers to have back support when holding children during group activities and patting their backs at naptime. Fine motor skills are increased through art and we are in need of refreshed art materials. The children learn best when their sensory needs are met so often they need to reset by jumping on the trampoline.

All of my students are unique and love coming to school each day. It’s because of donors like you that I can provide them with a high-quality quality healthy and safe learning environment.
