Let's Get it Started in Here!

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

My school is a Title I school, where every student receives free breakfast and lunch daily because of the extremely high number of families that qualify.

All students come from different backgrounds and our school is a place where that is celebrated and embraced every day.

Kindergarten is a grade where many students are coming to school for the first time and are truly diving into the world of education. With advancing curriculum and the adversity some students have coming into school, kindergarten is the time and place to explore, experiment, and find a love for education.

My Project

This project includes items that will vastly improve the functionality in my class this year. These are items which will be used every single day in our room and will help us get the year started on the right foot.

My kindergartners are unable to read instructions, so these headphones will allow for audio while reducing the noise in my classroom.

This school year, we will have at least five iPads and two computers in the room, which is why we desperately need durable headphones.

It breaks my heart to think a child doesn't feel represented and is unable to draw themselves or their families accurately. With that being said, I would like more skin-colored crayons so they are readily avalible at every table for all students, rather than the class sharing one pack.

Our classroom has a nice set of cubbies built in, but unfortunately my kinders are not tall enough to utilize the space on top for their daily take-home folders efficiently. I am asking for paper sorters so I am able to send work home and correspondence with students' families, utilizing a mailbox system that is easier for my students to use.
