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
I’m a Pre-K teacher working to create a more structured, engaging, and enriching environment for my young learners. My current Donors Choose project includes classroom organizing. This project will help me grow professionally by enhancing my classroom management and instructional planning. With better organization tools and hands-on learning materials, I’ll create a more structured and engaging space where students can thrive. I’ll learn to set up independent centers that support self-directed learning and meet diverse needs. These improvements will allow me to refine my teaching strategies. My students will benefit from a calm, organized environment that fosters curiosity, responsibility, and foundational skills, ensuring they engage in meaningful, age-appropriate activities every day.
