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 Students

I teach in an ETK (Expanded Transitional Kindergarten) Preschool program which is a full-day program. My enthusiastic PreK learners come to school ready to learn, build language, and explore. It is a program that introduces preschool-age students (ages 4-5) to a public school setting. I teach at a Title I school in a small suburb outside of a major city. The majority of my students are Hispanic, and many come from low-income families.

Most of my students either have not attended any preschool program or only attended a 2-3 hour a day program.

The ETK program allows parents who work to have a quality preschool program for six hours each day with a credentialed teacher. We offer free breakfast and lunch to all students. Many students have siblings at our school so it makes it easy for parents to drop off and pick up children.

My Project

I print many things to keep my PreK students engaged, small group activities (math, science, literacy, etc.), learning targets for the classroom, and keepsake items that parents can cherish for a lifetime (to name a few). The challenge I face is that my personal printer at home is old and is not performing well. I want to continue to make these exciting activities and having this printer would help. Having a wireless color printer would help bring a lot of fun colorful engaging centers to my PreK classroom. This is a great way to help grab my students' attention. It would make learning more exciting. With the color printer, I can create labels for their things and print around the room to immerse them in literacy.
