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.
I have approximately 25 students in my pre-kindergarten program. They come from the highest population density and poorest area of our large, urban city. All are on the free lunch program and 100% are learning English as a second language. Ninety-five percent of the students have had no educational experience before coming to my program. Therefore, the year with me has to count for four years.
My students come to our classrooms with no real life experiences.
Many have never been read to or experienced the joy of learning with hands-on educational toys nor even have held a pencil or crayon. Our students are significantly behind their non-disadvantaged peers. With your help, we can close that education gap.
My Project
I am asking for sixty, 4 packs of play dough which should last the entire school year. Our students' families and our school are poor so the parents nor our school are not able to provide us with essential consumable material.
We use the play dough to help the children to development fine motor skills and vocabulary.
We also develop early literacy and math skills by making the children form letters, shapes and numbers with the play dough. Pre-K children learn best through play. Also, the "Playdoh Center" is one of the favorite and most visited centers in my classroom. There is nothing better than opening a fresh, new container of play dough...ahhhhh!
