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 Students
Since I teach Pre-K, this is the first year of school for the majority of my students. As many of my students come into the school year nervous and uneasy, I want to provide a classroom and environment that is warm, inviting, engaging and safe!
Our principal, the teachers, and the entire school community have turned our school from a "failing" school into a school on the rise.
Many of my students come from incredibly challenging homes. 100% percent of the school receives free lunch, and many of our students live in homeless shelters, foster homes, etc. Our school runs a food pantry for our families, and also provide a lot of students with backpacks filled with supplies. Despite these challenges, my students love to learn and love to be at school. With these materials, I feel as though my students will come into a classroom they can call home for the year.
My Project
Many of the students at my school share beds with their siblings, sleep on air mattresses, or in general do not get enough sleep at night. By the time rest time comes, they are ready for a nice rest! I am looking to provide my students new rest cots that are warm, cozy and comfortable for them to rest their heads! Rest time is an essential part of our Pre-K day. It allows my students to rest, re group and wake up to enjoy the rest of their afternoon. These rest cots are essential to a comfortable, and productive rest period for my students. Thank you for considering my project!
