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

For most of our students, school offers structure, safety, food, and other things many take for granted. As a Title I school (95% of our students receive free or reduced-cost lunch) with an English Language Learner population of 95% in a bustling neighborhood, these needs are more important than ever. In addition to basic needs, school should offer engaging and meaningful opportunities in learning. Finding the funds and time to gather supplies to create these opportunities can be consuming, but these students deserve it.

Despite the disadvantages these students are dealt, they are some of the brightest, kindest, and hard-working kids around.

With a rich cultural backgrounds, loving and supportive families, and multilingual abilities, they work hard to achieve their academic and interpersonal goals and find success. But these students and their teachers do need help. Any tool or project to keep these students interested and motivated is crucial.

My Project

Our kinder team is on fuego! And it seems our pencils are their kindling! With our pencil reserves dangerously low, our young learners need sturdy pencils that stay as sharp and strong as their minds to bolster their learning. Our early writers in kindergarten are growing as readers, writers. mathematicians, scientists, historians, and artists everyday. As they learn their letters, sounds, numbers and more, they need to practice their writing too. That's why we need you!

Our kinder team needs to keep the fire of learning going and to do that they need pencils (and not as kindling!)!

Our kinder team has already gone through their classroom reserve, grade level reserve, and all parent donations! Our learners are just learning too much. Our hope is to keep the momentum going with this project. It isn't as glamorous as our previous school STEAM projects, but it is as equally essential. Our kinders need writing tools to create their start as lifelong learners.
