Help me give my students a library of alphabet books! Learning the alphabet is the focus of our work in Kindergarten. Books like "ABC at the Park" will help them learn their letters and sounds.

Celebrating 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
My students are joyous and enthusiastic multiple language learners. Most of my diverse kindergarteners are students with emergent language skills.
My kindergartners love to play pretend, sing songs, engage in movement activities, and do science experiments as a team.
They are most excited about becoming readers and writers this year!
The kindergarteners are very excited to be coming back to the school building again. All of my students had their pre-k classroom experience interrupted by COVID-19 last year. Some of my students never had adequate technology to be able to learn remotely with their class or their family was going through circumstances that prevented them from being able to do remote learning. Many of my students have been personally affected by the consequences of the pandemic. Our community had a high number of Coronavirus cases and experienced many of the traumas and consequences that come along with it, including loss of life and jobs, lack of child care, as well as food and basic need insecurity.
My Project
These alphabet books will help my students learn to identify upper case and lower case letters in addition to learning letter sounds this year. We've opened up a new kindergarten in the school building and we have no alphabet books for these kindergarteners. There is no money for purchasing new books this year due to the COVID-19 budget cuts.
These alphabet books will be read in school and shared with our families to borrow at home so the kindergarteners can learn the alphabet.
Alphabet books are a highly engaging and language-rich way for children to learn the alphabet.
