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

My project consists of a printer, copy paper, laminating paper and masking tape. I will use these materials as follows:

The printer and copy paper will be used to continue to differentiate instruction for all students.

A typical lesson is tailored to meet the needs of all students, and this may entail challenging the student above grade level, and making accommodations and modifications for the students that needs a little extra support.

The laminating paper will be used to make materials durable, and reusable so that they last the entire year.

The masking tape will be used to display art projects, classroom posters, and to put up work outside of the classroom on the walls and on their lockers.

I would like to thank you for reading this request, and possibly considering it for funding. We are excited to hear back!
