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 Project

Our classroom is in need of a new kitchen play set so that my students can fully engage in hands-on, imaginative learning. As a special education Pre-K teacher, I use play-based learning every day to support my students, many of whom have autism. Our current kitchen set was a hand-me-down, and while we’ve done our best to patch it up, it now has broken pieces and loose screws that poses a safety concern in our classroom.

With this new kitchen, my students will be able to explore social interactions, practice daily life skills, and build communication through our structured playtime curriculum.

With your support, we can replace the broken set with one that is safe, developmentally appropriate, and welcoming for all of my learners.

Thank you for helping bring joy and meaningful learning into our classroom!
