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
Firstly I would like to thank you for taking the time to consider my class for your donation. The new materials that I am including will help my PreK class tremendously with their creativity and their imagination. These items will help my students distinguish the difference between some of the materials we already have such wood and plastic and now adding in cardboard. The students will use the building blocks to be able to expand on their unique buildings by adding in people and cars. The books will help the students understand and reference different pictures they can create with the new material.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
