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

My students are very special first graders in a high-needs area of a borough in New York. Many of my students are English language learners and children with special needs. Each student is unique in his or her own way and deserves to have the best educational experience possible.

All of my students receive free lunch and come to school every day eager to learn.

Unfortunately, my classroom does not always have the supplies we need.

Our students are resilient and they need our support more than ever. Every donation makes a difference in my students' lives. I look forward to creating projects that will make our classroom a joyful learning environment. Thank you!

My Project

Snacks will increase learning abilities in the classroom throughout the day. I'm requesting snacks such as granola bars, applesauce, popcorn, chips, and cookies that can help boost their energy level for learning. Snacks enable the students to become more engaged in classroom activities. The snacks can help keep the students alert. A snack can help encourage concentration and re-energize tired students.

By providing the students with snacks, we can increase higher academic performance and socialization in the classroom.

I am also asking for tools such as Play doh, and Play foam, and pop fidgets to create a multi-sensory learning experience. It is proven that children learn best when all their senses are engaged in the learning project. For example, when a child forms letters out of Playdoh or Playfoam their brain makes a connection that helps them to recall the letter later on. Beyond our learning goals, hands-on experiences can help to develop their creativity and identity as young people. Thank you in advance for your kind contribution to our classroom!
