My students need various hands on learning activities such as puzzles and manipulatives. They would benefit from flexible seating and age appropriate leveled books. They need more craft materials to explore their creativity.

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
I am honored and humbled to teach an amazing group of hardworking and determined kindergarteners. My students attend a Title I school on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. My students come from low-income communities, and all receive free or reduced lunch. Many of my students are learning English as their second language and some are the only person in their family to read and speak English. We will be working hard all year to achieve our big goal of reaching first grade!
At the young age of 5, my students are already demonstrating grit and determination that will get them to and through college.
My Project
As I continue to build our classroom, it is vital that my students have more supplies and reading materials. They learn best through hands-on learning! My students will use the books, literacy centers, and math materials to grow their brains and increase their reading fluency. This will put their reading readiness into high gear! My students need additional supplies such as pencils and paint to participate in class and have all the materials we need to maximize our learning. Unfortunately my school does not provide colored printing. As a result I will need my own colored printing to print age appropriate materials that foster a love for learning. My students need furniture and additional carpets to make our classroom feel like home, as this is the only home for many of them. My students need more toys and games for the many days of indoor recess (UGH!).
Any donation will improve my classroom tremendously.
Each student deserves an equitable education. Please help me in ensuring that each student is given the exceptional education they deserve.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
