Celebrating 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 are just turning 5. For many of them, this is their first experience in a school setting. Some of the students have special learning needs, and many are learning English for the first time. The majority of their families live below the poverty line and rely on our free meal plan for their children's breakfast and lunch.
Our school is a high poverty, Title I school, with high expectations for all.
Each day we practice letters, phonics and sight words. We study science and math. We incorporate technology through the use of iPad apps, and we learn beginning engineering concepts through the use of building blocks and other manipulatives. At the end of the school day, the children are so excited to see their parents and tell them all the things they did at school. The parents are very supportive, and they enjoy spending time with their little ones, reading stories and learning new things.
My Project
My transitional kindergarten students will be learning hula dances to perform at our upcoming multicultural dance festival. We will be representing Hawaii with a performance of The Hukilau. I am requesting colorful hula skirts and leis to brighten up the performance.
The children will be joined by another transitional kindergarten class, as well as two special needs preschool classes in the performance.
Families, as well as community members, teachers, and the rest of the students at the school will be invited to watch. The children will look adorable in these hula sets as they perform to authentic Hawaiian music, with a little Lilo and Stitch music thrown in.
Your donation will make our performance special by providing costumes. Thank you for reading this proposal and for your consideration!
