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

I teach in an ETK (Expanded Transitional Kindergarten) Preschool program which is a full-day program for 24 students. My enthusiastic PreK learners come to school ready to learn, build language, and explore. It is a program that introduces preschool age students (ages 4-5) to a public school setting. I teach at a Title I school in a small suburb outside of a major city. The majority of my students are Hispanic, and many come from low income families.

Most of my students either have not attended any preschool program or only attended a 2-3 hour a day program.

The ETK program allows parents who work to have a quality preschool program for six hours each day with a credentialed teacher. We offer free breakfast and lunch to all students. Many students have siblings at our school so it makes it easy for parents to drop off and pick up children.

My Project

My little budding artists are constantly creating various artwork using all kinds of art materials. I am asking for a variety of art materials, including various papers, paintbrushes, watercolors and more. The availability of the requested materials will allow my children to participate in teacher-directed as well as child-led art activities that foster their learning in many areas. When using art materials on a daily basis with 24 children, the supply decreases significantly in no time, requiring the teachers to restock in order to continue to offer these creative experiences. Art is used as a way to foster math, literacy, fine-motor skills, and building of relationships. Donors like you can make it possible for our little Picassos to continue making their masterpieces.
