Help me give my students essential materials provided in the at home learning kits so that we do not hinder any prospective learning.

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 preschool students are enthusiastic, sweet and energetic! The majority of them are learning English as a second language. They come from low-income neighborhoods, where families have to make ends meet by working two jobs or working extra hours.
Despite of what our country is facing, my students always put a smile on my face with their unique and original answers.
They love to share how they have succeeded in writing their name, written the numerals or even drawn a simple happy face to express how they are feeling. This year they are having to experience school in a whole different way, through distance learning. As young as they are, they have not allowed this pandemic to stop them from learning.
My Project
We began this school year without knowing what to expect as we met our students for the first time through a virtual platform. The majority of the time we are all online together. There have been days that we are faced with poor internet connection, log in issues, or even getting locked out of our devices. One other issue we struggle with is not having sufficient materials at home to complete instructional activities.
Supplying the essential materials for all of my students will stop making learning from home a challenge.
Students cannot complete activities because they do not have age-appropriate materials provided. Many times the students are disappointed because they realize they have finished their blue construction paper or their glue stick is dry and therefore will not have a complete project. This is the reason I am asking for the Lakeshore Learning Kits for my students. By providing these kits along with construction paper and new play-doh my students will be prepared and engaged throughout our daily distance learning lessons.
My students and I have built a strong community through distance learning and we want to continue having success with the appropriate learning materials.
