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 year I will be teaching Pre-K students. These smart little learners will come into the class full of curiosity for the new experiences they will explore each day. I teach in a Title I school in New York City and the students come from many diverse and economic backgrounds. Some of my students are from South America, Asia, and Europe.

These little learners will come to school eager to explore, play, learn, and work together.

I want the students in my class to get excited about working together, sharing ideas, and doing fun class projects.

I really try to make our classroom like a family unit which is caring, nurturing, and respectful. I want my young smart learners to appreciate each other and their learning environment from the very start.

My Project

Please help my young learners get the books they need to be prepared for their units of study this year. The students will be working on ten different units of study.

We are in desperate need of these books in order to get through all the units of study.

With help from kind people like you the students will have the books they need ready for them to explore. Each of these books will be read aloud to the young Pre-K learners at the start of each unit. After the books will be added to their library for them to explore and re-read over and over again.

We all want to thank you in advance for helping us have a successful school year.
