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

This kindergarten class is full of incredible students. For many, this is their first time ever in a structured classroom environment, and it is also their first exposure to the English language. They come from all over the world providing diversity, allowing us to celebrate our similarities and differences. My students are enthusiastic, curious, caring, and creative. These students are members of a Title I urban school in Richmond, CA, a school where all students qualify for the free breakfast and free lunch program.

My Project

This year has been like no other, and students have not had the opportunity to experience what it really means to be in kindergarten. We have been virtual all year, but student love to learn and are always curious!

It is still important that we provide as many hands on opportunities as possible, and that is why I would love your help in getting our students science materials for our upcoming Weather, Plant and insects units.

Being able to do hands on Science projects is super important, and an experience that many students keep for a life time.
