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.
I am a fourth grade teacher in an inner city school in the South Bronx in NYC. All we are given are the basic supplies for the children to read and write. I am requesting a book binding machine so that my students will be more motivated to write their own stories and publish them into professional looking books.
For example, after my students read non-fiction books about animals they will create their own non-fiction books about an animal. I am requesting a book binding machine so that I can put these books together so that they look professional and will be sturdy when placed in the class library for others to read. I am also requesting a laminator so that my students' work can be preserved when hung around the room. They can also laminate their work before putting it in a book. These books will become part of the class library so that other children can read their classmates' work.
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
