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

Meet Richmond's Littlest Lions! We are a classroom of 12 special needs children - most of my kiddos have autism. They are bright, beautiful, and curious to learn. Each and every one of my kids have individual needs that vary from learning how to toilet or hold pencils, and even some learning to better socialize.

My students enjoy so much interaction on the playground, but things are limited due to costs.

We love being active, and we collaborate with our SPL and OT in order to better the needs for each individual child. Help me help them! Our school is very unique where children thrive and teachers LOVE teaching every student from every background. I hope that you can help me better my classroom!

My Project

My classroom consists of 12 special ed students who range from ages 3 - 6. They are fun, loving, and ready to learn, however, we have very little in our new classroom. We recently opened our classroom due to the need of our community which means we need things for our classroom. Our reading area needs a cozy, soft area. We need to stock up on craft supply and since we started this classroom mid-year, lots of funding is not available. We need a lot of arts and crafts, sensory, and outside play. Outside play is vital for my students as we are always working on fine motor, gross motor, and socialization. I work at a low income school that tends around housing shelters and low income housing. I would love for you to help me provide these necessities in order to help them become better themselves for this big world ahead! THANK YOU!
