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 Donors Choose project will help me promote a positive learning environment for my little scholars! I am my school’s Pre-kindergarten teacher, and my goal is to continue encouraging my students to improve their social and emotional skills, through fun and educational activities in a classroom that is set up to their needs.

My students at Mohawk Valley School have big minds and hearts and are worthy of circumstances that allow them to grow; most of my student’s opportunities to learn and grow come from our small rural school, that is centered in an agricultural area, We have less than 130 students total, with my class at ten students.

Being a small school has proven to be a blessing to our students, but also a challenge, as we are not financially as strong as bigger, more affluential school districts across Arizona. I work hard to encourage social and emotional growth through interactive activities and play time during our busy days! Each of my students have different needs and ways of learning that I want to meet. Most of my littles come to me with having never attended a school such as Head Start. This can make adjusting to being away from their home environment hard. Having items that I can give them to calm and soothe their anxieties is very helpful to their emotional growth. This is why I chose several different anxiety and stress items on my Donors Choose list. I also create Pre-kindergarten yearbook that reflects every milestone, celebration, and school activity day! It is specific only to my students, and at the end of they year, they are each given their very own “yearbook” to have as keepsakes. Thank you for taking the time to read my project!
