My students need these letter tubs with manipulatives. They do not speak English and it is very difficult for them to learn their letters and sounds without any hands on materials. These letter tubs would help.

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
I have 19 Prek students who are all non English speaking students. They call come from homes where parents unfortunately do not speak English and do not have a role model to learn the English language. They are mostly from low income families. My students are energetic little kids who love to learn and are very excited about being in school. However, since my students are all non English speaking students they need a lot of visuals and hands on activities in order to learn and make the learning process more meaningful. My school is located in South Florida in an area where unfortunately the parents are low income families and are not able to help financially with materials for our classroom. I've contacted the PTA from my school and the administration but there are not funds for extra materials.
My Project
I have 19 Prek students who are learning their alphabet and letters for the first time. They are learning to write and sound out their letters. For some this is a challenge, but they are all trying very hard. My students are all non English speaking students who need a lot of visuals and hands on activities in order to learn.
My students love to learn and enjoy coming to school.
This is the first time most of my students have ever attended school, so this new environment has been a change for them. But they have all adjusted very well. They all enjoy learning, and it has been a blessing for me as a first time Prek teacher to watch each of these students learn and grow everyday.
My Project
I am requesting alphabet sound teaching tubs from Lakeshore. These alphabet teaching tubs will help support the learning for my group of prek students. All of my 18 prek students are English Language learners, and the Lakeshore alphabet sounds teaching tubs will bring each letter of the alphabet to life for my children. The 3D objects in each tub will help my students learn the letter and relate the letter to different objects. By giving the children hands-on materials to relate to each letter will help them identify letters, sort objects, explore letter sounds, and play games that will help them learn and build their vocabulary skills and even writing skills.
This project will impact my prek students in so many ways!!
Please, please, please help!! The students will be able to learn the alphabet and their letters sounds in so many different ways. They will be able to use hands-on materials to learn their alphabet in a new and exciting way!
