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
We are half poverty, high need population in northern California. Our school has no extra funds; we are without many things. Kindergarten is a time to explore and realize who you are who you would want to be and to feel safe. Unfortunately, almost 40% or more of my students are without many supplies.
As a teacher there is so much I can do, and there is nothing at times I can do.
This is why we need your help. These children are so thankful, so wonderful and all they need is someone to believe in them. Therapeutic play can serve in individual growth purposes. In childhood, therapeutic play serves both social and personal function. Children who have had traumatic experiences can work out their demons encountered by their childhood experience as well as many challenges and anticipations of the future. My students come from a variety of backgrounds and countries. I am so lucky be their teacher.
My Project
My students need new chairs for the classroom. They are mismatched, wobbly, some have broken legs, and sometimes I don't have enough for the room. Of course there is no budget for new chairs for the classroom, but I think my students deserve better than this! I cannot afford to buy such an for my class. I also have inclusion children with special needs and these new chairs would be such an asset to a conducive to a learning environment. Thank you so much for giving your time or donation even if it is ten dollars. We need altruistic people like you in our schools. This will be very powerful for my kindergarten classroom. The colorful chairs will be used for many kindergarten classrooms to come.
Kindergarteners have to learn how to read before they leave to go to first grade.
Please understand you will be helping 23 five years in an urban area learn how to read and write, do math, art and be the best they can be. These new chairs are a key to success to our learning. Who wants to sit in a wobbly chair all day? Thank you so much for making a difference in this world and helping the children of our future. With love and gratitude from the best little kindergarten chairs in California.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
