FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Elayan's classroom raised $248

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

A color printer will transform my classroom by enhancing student engagement and making learning more dynamic. With vivid visuals, students can better connect to lessons, especially in subjects like reading, math, and science, where colorful charts, diagrams, and materials make abstract concepts tangible. It will also allow me to create individualized resources, like behavior charts or progress trackers, to support students' unique needs.

My goal for this project is to foster a vibrant, engaging, and inclusive learning environment where every student feels supported and inspired.

With access to colorful materials, I aim to increase student participation, spark curiosity, and build confidence in their academic journey.

My students are extraordinary because they demonstrate resilience and enthusiasm despite living in a low-income neighborhood with limited resources. They deserve tools that make learning exciting and accessible. A color printer will allow me to showcase their work in beautiful ways, celebrate their accomplishments, and ensure they have the resources needed to succeed.

Thank you for considering this project and supporting my students’ learning journey!
