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
My students are some of the most resilient people I have ever met. Many of them have fled their home country because of violence, political corruption, and poverty. All my students are English language learners and some have experienced interrupted education. However, they do not let their current or past struggles get in the way of pursuing a better future for themselves and their families. My students invest time in their education. They stay after school, come to school on Saturdays, and even come in the summer just so they can catch up to the rest of their peers.
The adversity my students face is not that of a typical teenager, especially in the current political climate; however, their passion and perseverance is truly inspiring.
My Project
Our math class is in need of a color printer. Our current printer is nearing the end of its life. Unfortunately, the daily jams have led to more virtual work, but I still have many students who need to be able to work on paper.
Having the printer in the classroom gives me the ability to differentiate and accommodate to all my students in real-time.
It allows for our lessons to be flexible.
Most importantly many of my former students are stopping by after school in need of printing for scholarships, FAFSA, and college applications. In order to print from our printer, every four pages there is a jam, so it is not ideal in situations when students need to submit work by a deadline.
