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 students are three years old and this is their first experience in school. They are among the first three year olds to attend 3K in the NYC school district. They come from a low income/high poverty neighborhood in the South Bronx, and have not been afforded the opportunities that children in more well to do neighborhoods are given.
It's my goal to provide a classroom for my students that is welcoming, offers opportunities for exploration, and prepares them for future academic success.
My Project
My three year olds do not recognize their written names yet. Having access to a printer in our classroom will make it possible to print multiple pictures of my students, which will be used along with their written name, and will aide with their name recognition.
A printer in our classroom will allow my students access to teacher created activities.
As well, staying connected to families and keeping them informed will be made easier with access to a printer for notes home, class newsletters, and other important information that families might need.
A printer in the classroom has many uses and will be utilized often to enhance learning in our 3K 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
