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 Students

This is my fifth year of teaching. I am in an SEI Kindergarten classroom. I have worked in a similar Title I school and have always been very passionate about helping these students. I have seen what the schools have to work with and always found myself wanting to buy materials that the students could highly benefit from, but not able to do so.

Our school places an emphasis on teaching the whole child to reach their full potential, and I would love to do so with all of the proper tools and materials.

Kindergarten is such an important year, thus I am working to ensure we create a positive impact for these students!

My Project

Our class this year has 27 kindergarteners, and although we have lots of space for our class to enjoy P.E. time, we do not always have enough equipment to get them excited and included. I would love to incorporate more physical education games that will keep all students engaged and moving.

The catch ball games will have our students so excited to get outside and play.

The hula hoops and vinyl spots will help with new games we can create as a class. The rings will be used with cones we have in our classroom, and I chose the avengers bean bag game to use with alphabet bean bags we also already have. Thank you for your donations!
