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

Our Primary Center is a Title 1 school in Los Angeles. Our students are special because at the young age of 3 they are beginning they're schooling careers. Students in our PAL program are identified with moderate to severe disabilities primarily autism, speech impairments, and intellectual disability.

The PAL program is an empirically studied early intervention program, where students from ages 3-5 can attend district preschool classes daily with supports embedded to help them succeed in daily life.

Our students practice language and social skills and also study STEM based themes to build literacy, math, and cognitive abilities.

Part of what makes life in a PALs room great is that every day our students have new opportunities, to learn, play, and grow together. We strive for progress not perfection, in understanding that each of us learn differently and therefore receive tailored, hands-on instruction on the daily.

My Project

Our school is small and very humble. We love our students and strive to give them nothing short of the best educational experience on a daily basis, but our funds are limited. We would really love to be able to turn our play space into a really engaging, hands-on zone where young learners can learn through fun play and not have to think about some of the setbacks we have as a low-income, urban community.

With the kitchinette, tent, and play squares, our students can physically engage in educational games that will make learning seem natural, fun, and accessible!

Because a good education should not be limited to those who have a certain age, wealth, or ability level- we really hope you will believe in us and in this amazing project to equalize the educational field.
