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 Students

I teach in a Title I school that is located in a diverse, low socio-economic neighborhood in the Bay Area. I will have 25 eager to learn kindergarten students this year. Kindergarten students are enthusiastic and excited to learn. My goal is to have a provide them with materials that fosters a love of learning and a wide variety of skills and knowledge.

Kindergarten students love to explore, discover, and be creative, and they need the proper equipment to support their learning.

I want my students to have the materials necessary to start off their educational careers at home, doing distance learning. Giving them a each a package with school supplies and items they need will help ensure they have everything necessary to be successful.

My Project

Distance learning is already hard enough. Now imagine being five years old, never been to school, at home, sitting in front of a electronic device while a teacher you've never met is teaching you. It can be challenging!

Many of my students do not have educational materials and school supplies at home; help my students start their educational careers by having the materials necessary to be successful at home.

Having basic supplies like pencils and paper for learning to write, flash cards and playdough to learn and make letters, dice to learn numbers, adding and subtracting, and paint and stickers for art is absolutely necessary!
