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

Our students come from many different places all over the world and are eager to learn English! Many of our students come to school without knowing any English. Using visuals to help overcome language barriers is key to teaching and learning. Showing students visuals in black and white can be challenging when they aren't able to make connections to what they know.

This color printer will allow us to provide academic activities and resources to enhance our English Language Learning students knowledge.

Communicating with our students is so important and a color printer will allow us to do this much easier. By printing in color, we will be able to provide students with so many great resources and activities. This printer will impact students English learning from Kindergarten to 8th grade!
