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 Project
My students can role play in the dramatic play center with the play food. They can be restaurant owners, chefs, and bakers. They can dramatize and practice abstract thinking they need in later school years. We are requesting a Shopping Cart With Sturdy Metal Frame, Sparkle & Shine Cleaning Play Set, Let's Go Shopping Meat & Fish & Cheese Basket, Five Major Food Groups Set, and more. Dramatic play is very important in language development. Then they can sell their foods building on financial literacy.
My students are very curious and we are a Title I school which 90% or higher of the student population qualifies for free lunch.
Many come from low income families and deserve to have new updated toys.
More than half of students from low‑income households
