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 classroom is a self-contained kindergarten class. My student population consists of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Learning Disabilities, and Intellectual Disabilities.
Working with this population can be difficult, but it is super rewarding within this environment.
I teach the most interesting, caring, well-behaved scholars ever! My school is a student-centered environment filled with "World-Class Teachers!" As a team, we are continuously brainstorming ways to evolve as educators, and we are also advocates for family involvement in the learning process!
My Project
Do you remember when you would go to kindergarten in the morning and get to go home at lunchtime? The days of half-day kindergarten are over. Kindergartners now attend school all day. Kindergartners face the challenge of staying engaged and on-task during a long, full school day. It is very difficult to stay focused on learning when you have an empty stomach.
We are requesting snacks such as crackers, fruit snacks, chips, and goldfish that will provide many nutrients and minerals that a growing kindergartner needs between meals.
Snacks will help my students' brains and bodies get the extra boost that they need to do their very best in our classroom. We are also asking for tissues and paper towels. My students will use the tissues and paper towels to place their snacks on. Please help us get snacks for the classroom!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
