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

Incorporating a color printer into our resources will allow me to increase student engagement. I will be able to provide them with vibrant visual aids to support their understanding of new academic content, such as charts and digital drawings during our different STEM units.

Furthermore, a color printer will elevate student projects and activities, especially as we incorporate STEM and coding into our weekly lessons.

For example, students are currently working on a science unit on weather, climate, and the environment, which is being integrated with coding. Students would have the ability to design and print some of their creations, and will be thrilled to see their ideas come to life!
