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

The high yield toner cartridges will be used in our classroom to provide my young students with a colorful and supportive classroom environment for learning. The toner cartridges will be used to create and provide my students with colorful visuals and learning tools that will greatly influence their attention, creativity, concentration and calmness.

Providing my students with colorful visual supports and learning tools will help enhance their language development, understanding directions, independence with completing tasks and assignments, literacy skills, memory skills, expressing and understanding emotions, sustaining attention, communication skills, vocabulary development, working memory, social interactions and positive behavior.

Providing my students with colorful visuals and learning tools will greatly enhance my students' educational success!
