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

Everyday my students come to school with positive attitudes and the brightest smiles we could ask for! They are so excited to be in school and curious to know what sort of activity we will be doing in the classroom each day. I truly look forward to helping them learn and preparing them for kindergarten.

Our school is located in a low-income area, our students all receive a free lunch and snack everyday.

We are always working with our families to ensure our students are getting the necessities in order for them to be successful. No matter what, my students come to school ready to learn their letters, play, read stories, count, and sing songs. It is truly inspiring to watch my students grow and learn throughout the year.

My Project

We practice basic skills everyday to prepare our students for kindergarten. Together we review letters, numbers, we practice writing our names and cutting out shapes. For many of our students, school is the only place they have access to materials to review or practice these skills, which is why I am asking for these "Ready For School" backpacks.

These backpacks contain many different resources such as magnet letters, numbers, crayons and pencils.

Students can use these materials to practice basic skills at home. With these supplies, parents can help their child practice different activities that are provided in the backpack. I know that if our students had access to these materials to work with at home, it would help them acquire the skills they need in order to become successful in Kindergarten.
