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

This project includes bouncy balls, hoola hoops, chalk, and jump ropes. Our school has limited outside toys, and for much of the school year the students had no toys to play with at recess other than bikes and the play structure. Outside toys tend to get lost or broken easily, so it is hard to always have a supply of things for the kids to play with.

This project will help 2 Kindergarten classes, 1 T-K class, and 2 extensive support needs (ESN special education) T-K/K classes.

All of the students will get to enjoy these toys, but they have an additional benefit to the students with extensive support needs. As a result of their disabilities, many ESN students struggle to play in unstructured setting. They may spend recess mostly wandering around. Having more supplies to help engage them in play allows us to widen their interests, engage them in new activities, and promote opportunities to learn to share and play with other students.

Please help fund these supplies for our Kindergarten playground. We thank you in advance for your donations.
