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
We are half poverty, high need population in northern California. Our school has no extra funds; we are without many things. Kindergarten is a time to explore and realize who you are who you would want to be and to feel safe. Unfortunately, almost 40% or more of my students are without many supplies.
As a teacher there is so much I can do, and there is nothing at times I can do.
This is why we need your help. These children are so thankful, so wonderful and all they need is someone to believe in them. Therapeutic play can serve in individual growth purposes. In childhood, therapeutic play serves both social and personal function. Children who have had traumatic experiences can work out their demons encountered by their childhood experience as well as many challenges and anticipations of the future. My students come from a variety of backgrounds and countries. I am so lucky be their teacher.
My Project
My students classroom need basic supplies. I cannot afford to buy such a book library for my class, fan, art supplies and a classroom cot for sick children and the other plethora of supplies needed to run my classroom nor can my school. With the outdated classrooms and no books at all, these wonderful supplies will be a welcome to my room and the kindergartners will thank you too! The impact will help my students strive and grow into the learners they were meant to be. Thank you so much for giving your time or donation even if it is 10 dollars. We need altruistic people like you in our schools! This will be very powerful for my kindergarten classroom.
In kindergarten, they must have basic supplies.I would love to change the room into a more natural based classroom with less harsh colors.
I am also adding plants into my room.
Most students come in not knowing the letters of the alphabet, but must leave knowing how to read. I believe these supplies will help my students in so many ways, especially the high poverty students. Kindergartners have to learn how to read before they leave to go to first grade (different than when you and I went). Please feel empowered to know you will be helping 25 kindergartners in an inner city, how to read. Thank you so much! Love!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
